1. A method of traffic shaping on an adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) data link, comprising:
with a traffic shaping configuration agent:
fetching, from a neighbor routing table stored on a network interface card (NIC), data defining a first modulation of a data link and a first physical layer data transmission rate associated with a first media access control (MAC) address;
identifying a first maximum achievable goodput for the first modulation and the first physical layer data transmission rate;
reconfiguring an operating system (OS) traffic shaping implementation based on the first maximum achievable goodput;
detecting a change in the first modulation associated with the first MAC address and the first physical layer data transmission rate associated with the first MAC address as defined by the neighbor routing table;
identifying a second maximum achievable goodput for a second modulation and a second physical layer data transmission rate; and
reconfiguring the OS traffic shaping implementation based on the second maximum achievable goodput.
