This object specifies the administrative Peak Information Rate (maximum transmit bandwidth) that a user configures for packets leaving a Service Access Point (SAP) queue on Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent routers. The value set here is used by the device's scheduler to control the maximum rate at which traffic is forwarded out of that queue, measured in kilobits per second. Network operators use this setting to implement traffic shaping policies and prevent any single queue from consuming all available outgoing bandwidth.
