Cisco IOS QoS includes traffic policing capabilities implemented through the rate-limiting aspects of CAR, and the Traffic Policing feature. For traffic shaping, Cisco IOS QoS includes Generic Traffic Shaping (GTS), Class-Based Shaping, Distributed Traffic Shaping (DTS), and FRTS protocols.
Committed Access Rate (CAR)
Cisco IOS QoS offers two kinds of traffic regulation mechanisms: the rate-limiting feature of committed access rate (CAR) for policing traffic, and Generic Traffic Shaping (GTS) and Frame Relay Traffic Shaping (FRTS) for shaping traffic. You can deploy these features throughout your network to ensure that a packet, or data source, adheres to a stipulated contract and to determine the QoS to render the packet.
