hi all, I set the properties of bge0 as follows: # dladm set-linkprop -p maxbw=1000 bge0 # dladm show-linkprop -p maxbw bge0 LINK PROPERTY VALUE DEFAULT POSSIBLE bge0 maxbw 1000 -- -- I created a flow upon link bge0 named icmpv6flow. Now , when i tried to give it a maxbw of 1500 Mbps. #flowadm set-flowprop -p maxbw=1500Mbps icmpv6flow. It happened successfully. How come this is possible? That a flow on a link should be restriceted by the amount of maximum bandwidth available to the link. Can anyone clear me plz.? Regards, Samir

How come this is possible that a flow on a link is allowed to have a maxbw greater than the link upon which is created? I think this should not be.

Samir, Even if it displays 1500Mbps the flow cannot use more than the maxbw of the Physical Link.

It will still be bound by the underlying link''s bandwidth in terms of what it actually gets. -venu> > Can anyone clear me plz.? > > Regards, > Samir > > >
