Figure 22 illustrates the traffic treatment for a single Ethernet port. It also illustrates 
that the shaped SAP aggregate CIR rate competes with the unshaped 4-priority 
aggregate CIR rate for port bandwidth. Once the aggregate CIR rates are satisfied, 
the shaped SAP aggregate PIR rate competes with the 4-priority PIR rate (always 
maximum) for port bandwidth. 
The egress aggregate CIR rate limit for all the unshaped 4-priority SAPs is 
configured using the config>port>ethernet>access>egress>unshaped-sap-cir 
command.
