Shaping is when the router manages traffic to ensure that the average rate of transmission, over time, does not exceed a specified value. The main application of shaping is when you have a circuit whose speed is less than the clock speed of the interface that circuit is delivered on. A common example might be a 10Mbps circuit delivered on a Fast Ethernet interface.
If a behavior never occurs, we say that it is not in the persons repertoire. Shaping is a way of adding behaviors to a persons repertoire. Shaping is used when the target behavior does not yet exist. In shaping, what is reinforced is some approximation of the target behavior. Approximation means any behavior that resembles the desired behavior or takes the person closer to the desired behavior. Successive approximations are steps toward the target behavior, the behavior you want to shape.
