crossbow discuss - Mar 2008 - modifying bandwidth

Hi, Pradeep:

I believe you had some questions about modifying bandwidth for flows/VNICs.
I believe that should be fine in the recently released bits, could you please
check and lets know if you still have any questions about this.

Bandwidth limits can be modified using:
 	links: dladm set-linkprop -p maxbw=<value> linkname
 	flows: flowadm set-flowprop -p maxbw=<value> flowname
(I tried netperf after modifying a flow''s bandwidth and it worked fine.
If
you want us to try some example let us know.)

I remember you had questions about monitoring the usage, is that the one?

thanks,

-venu

Hi Venu,

In my last e-mail, I mentioned that the capping does not work, if we 
change the cap, after a connection is established. I guess that''s 
resolved in the new bits. Will try it soon and let you know.
