  Hello @Oliver,

  Yes, you are right. If you are specifying guaranteed bandwidth, the value should be between 20kbps and 100000000kbps (100Gbps). Otherwise 0 can be used if you are not reserving bandwidth but restricting to an upper limit of a particular value.

  8 Kbps is a very low number, why are you trying to use such a low value as guaranteed? What is this object being created for?

  Thanks!

  Hello @Oliver,

  Understood. Unfortunately, for bandwidth reservation to be done 20 Kbps is the minimum value. But if you are trying to restrict/limit the bandwidth then you can specify the guaranteed value as 0 and the maximum as at least 20 Kbps.

  Also, please check if the value is 8 KBps (8 kilo bytes per second), whereas 8 Kbps is 8 Kilo bits per second. In that case the value would be 64 kbps for 8 KBps.

  Otherwise, might need to go with at least 20 Kbps.

  Thanks!
