Everything drops packets if you fill the buffers...
Rate limiting vs Traffic Shaping is about intent and QoS in my experience.
YMMV

Subject: Traffic Shape or Rate Limit
Hello,
I'm wondering what the list's opinions are on Traffic-Shaping vs. Rate-Limit
for DIA customers (Frac DS3, for example). From what I've read, Traffic
Shaping is a better option since it doesn't drop packets. Just curious as
to what the opinions are.
