profile <profile-name>

The name of a QoS profile.

In policy qos name <policy-name> shaper profile <profile-name>, the profile name is always a local QoS profile. Configurations paths that have this root define a local QoS profile.

In policy qos name <policy-name> shaper default <profile-name> or policy qos name <policy-name> shaper class <class-number> profile <profile-name> the profile name can be either a local or global QoS profile name. A configuration path that has either of these roots references a QoS profile that is defined either locally or globally.

burst <limit>
The burst size limit, in number of bytes. This is the amount of traffic that can pass unrestricted through an interface when a burst of traffic pushes the average transmit rate above the configured bandwidth limit. The burst size must be greater than the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size.
