Network Traffic Parameters

The table below summarizes the network traffic parameters that you can control in Parallels Server Bare Metal.

Parameter	Description
`traffic_shaping`	If set to `yes` , traffic limitations for outgoing traffic are set for virtual machines and Containers. The default is `no` .
`bandwidth`	This parameter lists all network adapters installed on the server and their bandwidth.
`totalrate`	This parameter defines the bandwidth to allocate for each network class. It is active if traffic shaping is turned on.
`rate`	If traffic shaping is turned on, this parameter specifies the bandwidth guarantee for virtual machines and Containers.
`ratebound`	If this parameter is set to `yes` , the bandwidth guarantee (the global rate parameter) is also the limit for the virtual machine or Container, and the virtual machine or Container cannot borrow the bandwidth from the `totalrate` bandwidth pool.
