policy qos name <policy-name> shaper period <number>
period <number> is ignored on hardware platforms.Controls the definition of the enforcement period for the QoS scheduler. This affects how frequently the QoS scheduler generates packets.
The enforcement period affects how the QoS scheduler operates. In general, a short period results in many small bursts of traffic, whilst a long period results in fewer, larger bursts of traffic.
For example, if the maximum burst size is 1MB and the period is 20 milliseconds, then up to 1MB of traffic can be sent every 20 milliseconds.
period, burst and bandwidth arguments are inter-related, so you must consider them together.policy- This keyword exists for 'organizational' purposes only, to structure the configuration path for relevant command strings.

period <number>The enforcement period, in milliseconds.
This attribute determines how often the QoS scheduler checks for packets that are waiting to be sent. With a small enforcement period, the QoS scheduler checks more often — and will therefore send traffic in smaller blocks, more often. With a large enforcement period, the QoS scheduler checks less often — and may therefore send traffic in larger blocks, less often.
