This read-write integer sets the Minimum Information Rate for a ForeSight-enabled connection, defining the floor rate the connection will not be throttled below even under sustained congestion feedback, and its practical maximum is bounded by the logical port's actual speed. Admins configure this to guarantee a baseline throughput for the connection regardless of how aggressively ForeSight backs off the rate during congestion. For example, setting foresightMIR ensures a connection carrying business-critical traffic never gets throttled below an acceptable minimum even during a sustained network congestion event.
