A traffic profile is referenced by a single policy by default.
After a traffic policy references a traffic profile, the maximum bandwidth defined in the traffic profile takes effect on the traffic that matches the policy. A traffic profile works in either of the following modes:
Exclusive mode
A traffic profile is used by only one policy. Traffic that matches the policy has exclusive use of the maximum bandwidth defined in the traffic profile.
Shared mode
A traffic profile is shared by multiple traffic policies. Traffic that matches these traffic policies shares the maximum bandwidth defined in the traffic profile.
