Describe traffic shaping.

What will be an ideal response?


Traffic shaping works at Layer 3 and Layer 7 of the OSI model to prioritize traffic based on the TCP/UDP port number. It either gives certain packets a priority, or directly assigns a fixed amount of bandwidth to packets from a certain application (defined by port number). Traffic shaping is usually done on edge routers.
