Described herein are approaches for shaping traffic within a data network. In particular, methods and systems herein describe devices configured to classify packets based on particular criteria. Based on a classification associated with a packet, a packet can be queued at a subscriber mux device, one of a plurality of subscriber devices, and an application device. In addition, the subscriber devices and the application device include qdiscs to shape traffic. Once the traffic is shaped, it is queued based on properties associated with packets.
