committed-rate Define the committed rate, which is the guaranteed or minimum confirmed rate for the
packets. Specify this value as a multiple of 64 if you specify the committed rate in Kbps.
The range is from 0 to 40000000. The range is from 1 to 268000000 for pps. The range
is from 0 to 40000 for Mbps (which is the default measure for rate limits if you do not
explicitly configure Kbps or pps)
burst-KB (OPTIONAL) Enter the committed burst size in KB. The range is from 0 to 10000. The
default is 50 KB. The default peak burst is regarded as the same value as the configured
committed burst size.
Packets (OPTIONAL) Enter the committed burst size as a count of packets. The range is from 1 to
1073000. The default is 50 packets. The default peak rate is regarded as the same value
as the configured committed rate.
peak-rate Define the peak rate, which is the guaranteed or minimum confirmed rate for the packets.
Specify this value as a multiple of 64 if you specify the peak rate in Kbps. The range is
from 0 to 40000000 for Kbps. The range is from 1 to 268000000 for pps. The range is
from 0 to 40000 for Mbps (which is the default measure for rate limits if you do not
explicitly configure Kbps or pps)
kbps Enter the keyword kbps to specify the peak rate limit in Kilobits per second (Kbps).
Specify this value as a multiple of 64. The range is from 0 to 40000000. The default
granularity is Megabits per second (Mbps).
pps Enter the keyword pps to specify the peak rate limit in packets per second (pps). The
range is from 1 to 268000000. The default granularity is Megabits per second (Mbps).
peak-rate Define the peak rate, which is the guaranteed or minimum confirmed rate for the packets.
Specify this value as a multiple of 64 if you specify the peak rate in Kbps. The range is
from 0 to 40000000 for Kbps. The range is from 1 to 268000000 for pps. The range is
from 0 to 40000 for Mbps (which is the default measure for rate limits if you do not
explicitly configure Kbps or pps)
burst-KB (OPTIONAL) Enter the peak burst size in KB. The range is from 0 to 10000. The default is
50 KB.
Packets (OPTIONAL) Enter the peak burst size as a count of packets. The range is from 1 to
1073000. The default is 50 packets. The default peak rate is regarded as the same value
as the configured peak rate.
Default Granularity for rate is Mbps unless you use the kbps option.

Usage Information
If you specify the pps keyword after the rate-shape command, the peak rate, peak burst, committed rate and
committed burst are all considered to be values as a measure of packets. If you do not specify the pps or kbps
keyword, the peak and committed rate settings are considered to be values in Mbps. Similarly, if you enter the
kbps keyword, the peak and committed rate settings are treated as values in Kbps.
You cannot configure the committed rate settings to use a different metric or unit from the metric that is set for
peak rate attributes because when you use the
rate-shape kbps command, it denotes the metric for peak
and committed rate attributes). Similarly, if you use the
rate-shape pps option , it denotes the metric for peak
rate and committed rate attributes.
If you attempt to define the committed rate to be less than the peak rate, an error message is displayed stating
that the peak rate cannot be lower than the committed rate. You can configure all the rate shaping parameters to
be either in bytes or packets measure for each queue. The rate and burst parameters for both minimum and
