This allows you to limit the overall or connection-related maximum bandwidth used for server access.
An example:
You operate a web server and a local network at a shared Internet connection.
To prevent your productive network (LAN) from being overloaded by large numbers of Internet accesses to your web server, you can limit server access to half of the available bandwidth. You can also ensure that users have simultaneous and equal access to your server services by setting a maximum bandwidth per connection to the server.
