流量监管和流量整形的区别

1. 流量监管：
流量监管基本上是一种机制，它通过对符合指定速率的数据包使用操作来监视任何网络中的流量。网络中的策略会检查存储桶中的令牌数量。在流量监管中，一个令牌通常代表一个字节的流量。它可用于控制入站和出站流量。它还保持对多余流量的控制。

2.流量整形：
流量整形基本上是一种拥塞控制机制，它延迟一些数据包，使它们与其他流量组件保持一致。它增加了数据包的延迟和带宽。它通过给数据包一些延迟使流量符合一定的速率。流量整形只能用于控制出站流量。它还对数据包进行排队。

流量监管和流量整形的区别：

S.NO.	Traffic Policing	Traffic Shaping
1.	Traffic policing is a mechanism which monitors the traffic in any network.	Traffic Shaping is a congestion control mechanism that brings delays in packets.
2.	The packets with rates that are greater than the traffic policing rate are discarded.	It buffers the packets with rates that are greater than the traffic shaping rate.
3.	Traffic policing doesn’t cause delay.	Traffic shaping causes delay of packets.
4.	The token values are calculated in bytes per second.	The token values are calculated in bits per second.
5.	In traffic policing queuing of traffic is not performed.	Queuing of traffic is not performed in traffic shaping.
6.	Traffic policing supports traffic remarking.	Traffic shaping doesn’t supports traffic remarking.
7.	Traffic policing can be used to control outbound or inbound traffic.	Traffic policing can used to control outbound traffic only.
