Very hard, it maybe, depending on the link behaviour over time and
exactly how your ISP does the shaping, be possible to detect what rate
traffic is arriving at with policers and mark accordingly.
I assume you are shaping inbound traffic - if so you will always need to
keep your total rate about 20% less than what your speed is or you will
not be able to "grow" a queue to shape with.
Andy.
