3.4.4.5. Traffic Shaping Example

The example below illustrates a scenario when the containers MyCT1 and MyCT2 have RATEBOUND set to no, and the virtual machine MyVM has RATEBOUND set to yes. With the default TOTALRATE of 4096 Kbps and RATE of 8 Kbps, the bandwidth pool will be distributed as follows:
