Figure 19 and Figure 20 illustrate the functionality of fabric shapers in per-destination 
mode and aggregate mode, respectively. 
Referring to Figure 19, once the per-destination prioritization and scheduling takes 
place, as described in previous sections in this chapter, the per-destination adapter 
card shapers take effect. With per destination shapers, the maximum amount of 
bandwidth that each destination adapter card can receive from the fabric can be 
controlled. For example, the maximum amount of bandwidth that adapter card 1 can 
switch to the remaining adapter cards, as well as the amount of bandwidth switched 
back to adapter card 1, can be configured at a set rate.
