the amount of bytes that can be burst at peak
speed (kilobytes). The rate is shared equally
within domains connected to the network.
- The following example configures a bandwidth
- limit for instance network traffic:
- $ nova flavor-key m1.small set quota:inbound_average=10240
-$ nova flavor-key m1.small set quota:outbound_average=10240
+ Below example sets network traffic bandwidth limits for
+ existing flavor as follow:
+
+
+
+ Outbound traffic:
+
+
+
+ average: 256 Mbps
+ (32768 kilobytes/second)
+
+
+
+
+ peak: 512 Mbps
+ (65536 kilobytes/second)
+
+
+
+
+ burst: 100 ms

+ Inbound traffic:
+
