Traffic Shaping and Manually Configuring Bc Values

When configuring traffic shaping, it is generally recommended to allow the device to automatically calculate the Bc (Committed Burst) traffic shaping parameter. Manually setting this value can lead to unexpected results unless done under specific circumstances with thorough testing, such as aligning burst settings with an ISP. In scenarios where an ISP is policing traffic, creating an Access Control List (ACL) to match all traffic and applying shaping can prevent dropped packets. However, care must be taken to accommodate time-sensitive traffic like VoIP, which can be adversely affected by delays from shaping.
