RE: Modeling of Policing component.

I disagree: if you follow an Algorithmic Dropper by a Scheduler (there's
an implied Queue in there somewhere), when the Queue starts to get full
due to "excess" traffic (arrival - departure > 0 over appropriate time
intervals), the Dropper will kick in. That is "policing" (it's doing
shaping at the same time of course). 

Meter->AbsoluteDropper is the more conventional way to think about
policing, I agree, but AlgorithmicDropper->Scheduler is also valid.

We can have an Algorithmic Dropper as part of Policer, but not a
Scheduler. The moment we have a Scheduler, what we are doing is Shaping
not policing.
