Summary

Updated network bandwidth and connection tracking error descriptions from 'shaped' to 'queued or dropped' for accuracy.

Security assessment

The changes clarify network throttling behavior but don't address security vulnerabilities, weaknesses, or incidents. Modifications are terminology refinements (shaped → queued/dropped) for technical accuracy without security implications.
