When I apply a service policy that has shaping to a router interface, like on a 7206, the 'show policy-map int xxx' has a "Shaping Active" field that will show you if shaping is actually occurring as in this output:
BVU-RT7206A-MDF#sh policy-map int g0/3.82
GigabitEthernet0/3.82
Service-policy output: WAN-100MB-speed_with_10MB_voice_Imaging

** This output even shows how many packets have been delayed due to shaping.
-------------------
But when a shaping service policy is applied to a SPA routed interface, there is no such field to show whether shaping is active or not, or whether any packets have been queued due to shaping, as in this output:
ROC-7604-B#sh policy-map int g2/1/0.122
GigabitEthernet2/1/0.122
Service-policy output: WAN-ERG_with_24voice

How is one to know if shaping is active on a SPA interface?
