syntex of command is like this

Bandwidth guaentees the defiend amount where shape attempts to limit usage.

Assume a link that is very overutilized and each class test is attempting to use more that the defined bandwidth.

In the first case it will get the defined amount and then will compete for the rest of the bandwidth with the rest of the classes.

In the second the all the traffic still competes with each other but the shape command will eventually drop

packets if they exceed the burst rate for too long.

In periods without congestion bandwidth has no effect but shape will continure to limit the amount of traffic sent.

... edited this I orginally though shape average only took effect during congestion but it is always in effect and is a policer of sorts.
