Limiter - Applied per session?

[mevans336]

We have a simple In/Out limiter that limits a source and destination IP to 10Mbps. The limiter appears to work great, but sporadically this limited VM can break 10Mbps and spike up to 700Mbps. I'm thinking it might be that the server is opening hundreds of individual sessions and each is being limited to 10Mbps.

Is the limiter "per TCP session?"

Here is an example of the traffic spikes: http://imgur.com/a/9siwt

AFAIK, it splits the bandwidth (10Mbit) proportionally among the active IPs, assuming you configure that way. It's not per flow.

I wonder why this one isn't doing that?

I have two rules as follows on my ipsec tunnel, where the traffic is flowing. Each has a 10Mbps in/out limiter:

0 /0 B IPv4 * 	* 	* 	192.168.10.107 	* 	* 	none sql replication limiter 	
0 /17.99 GiB IPv4 * 	192.168.10.107 	* 	* 	* 	* 	none sql replication limiter

Maybe I should make them floating rules?
