• Resumen

  • In this edition of ISPadmin, I look at the area commonly referred to as �traffic shaping.� Traffic shaping is the process by which network operators manage the somewhat random flow of packets to and from their networks to achieve the desired flow characteristics. Synonyms for �traffic shaping� include �packet shaping,��bandwidth limiting,��rate limiting,� and �bandwidth management.� These terms (among others) are commonly used in this article and elsewhere.
