Not only that, but the rate-limiting on the input interface will likely =
force the customer to do some QOS at their end too; the discrepancy =
between what the customer's router thinks the bandwidth is and what it =
really is will cause packet loss. I like the solution of the sending =
interface to queue the egress traffic at whatever speed is available =
better.
