If you want to prevent a PE router from deciding which ingress packets to
drop, the only plan is to send packets to spoke sites at or below the spoke
line-rate. The only good way to do that is shaping on the hub router.

policy-map parent_shaper
 class class-default
  shape average 100000000  < --- 100Mbps parent shaper.
    service-policy site_shaper

policy-map site_shaper
class t1_site
  shape average 1536000
   service-policy qos_global
class multilink_site
  shape average 3072000
    service-policy qos_global
class class-default
    service-policy qos_global

policy-map qos_global
 ... whatever you typically use here....
