Add more details for ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond parameter in New-NetQosPolicy

Open YuxuanZhuAtMS opened this issue 7 months ago • 4 comments

PR Summary

Add more details for ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond parameter in New-NetQosPolicy for some extreme conditions.

We're using New-NetQosPolicy in production to choke some application by setting ThrottleRateActionBitsPerSecond as low as possible, but it turns out that:

  • 0 means no rate limiting, will be ignored
  • the value will be rounded down to nearest multiple of 8 (e.g. 500 -> 496)

Adding these details into documentation to avoid confusion for others.
