Riverbed limits the maximum bandwidth on the Edge appliances shown in this table. We recommend the maximum classes, rules, and sites shown in this table for optimal performance and to avoid delays while changing the QoS configuration.

The QoS bandwidth limits are global across all WAN interfaces and the primary interface.

Traffic that passes through an Edge but is not destined to the WAN is not subject to the QoS bandwidth limit. Examples of traffic that is not subject to the bandwidth limits include routing updates, DHCP requests, and default gateways on the WAN-side of the Edge that redirect traffic back to other LAN-side subnets.
