This object defines a bandwidth threshold (in kilobits per second, range 100-500,000 kbps) that classifies a service flow's traffic behavior as either heavy user (exceeding the threshold) or light user (below it). The classification is used to apply different traffic management policies and enforce service level constraints on cable modem terminal system (CMTS) connections. Cable operators configure this to balance network resources fairly among subscribers, applying stricter rate limits or traffic shaping to heavy users.
