Explanation

Traffic Shaping buffers (queues) excess traffic to smooth out bursts, which means packets are held in a buffer and released at a conforming rate - this inherently introduces delay and jitter, but typically avoids dropping packets. Traffic Policing, by contrast, enforces a rate limit by immediately dropping (or remarking) packets that exceed the defined threshold without buffering them, meaning it introduces no delay or jitter, but dropped TCP segments trigger TCP's retransmission mechanism.
