Traffic Shaper / Limiter / Bandwidth / Burst
-
Hello,
In pfSense, under Firewall > Traffic Shaper > Limiter > Bandwidth
the hint for this field says:
Bandwidth is a rate (e.g. Mbit/s), burst is a total amount of data that will be transferred at full speed after an idle period.
How do you exactly define what burst amount to put in? For example if I wanted to allow 5 megabytes of data to be burst at full speed after an idle period, how do I enter that in?
5000kB
5000 kilobytes
5mB
5 megabytes
…?What is the proper way to populate this field?
Thank you!
Rizwan
