Question about Traffic Shaping:

Upon reading the guaranteed QOS draft - Traffic shaping is required
within the network to accomodate the heterogenous TSpec's of multicast
links. From an implementation point-of-view isn't it very expensive to
perform shaping on a per flow basis, especially for high-speed links
within the network. Is there any way around this problem?
