The present invention relates to methods of making compounds that inhibit 11-\u03b2-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 enzyme. In particular embodiments of the present invention, a modify QoS andor bandwidth allocation message including updated QoS andor bandwidth information from the NSP andor ASP is received at the RAN. The group-specific hardware counters are used to implement hardware-based rate shaping and scheduling of all 16 k queues in a resource efficient manner that supports high throughput, e.
