This read-write integer sets the Quiescent Information Rate for a ForeSight-enabled connection, representing the rate the connection settles at during steady-state, non-congested "quiet" conditions between its minimum and peak rates, and is bounded by the actual logical port speed. Admins use this to tune the connection's baseline expected throughput under normal conditions, distinct from its congestion-driven floor (MIR) and burst ceiling (PIR). For example, foresightQIR might be set close to a connection's typical average usage so that ForeSight's adaptive algorithm starts from a realistic steady-state rate rather than immediately ramping from the minimum.
