THROTTLE_BANDWIDTH option for NetBackup servers
This option specifies a limit for the network bandwidth or transfer rate that NetBackup clients use on a network. The actual limiting occurs on the client side of the backup connection. This option limits only backups. Restores are unaffected. The default is that the bandwidth is not limited.
While LIMIT_BANDWIDTH associates a bandwidth or transfer rate with all client IP addresses in a range between two IP addresses, THROTTLE_BANDWIDTH is more useful in an IPv6 environment. THROTTLE_BANDWIDTH associates a bandwidth setting with a subnet description.
For example, the following subnet will get 400kbs bandwidth: 2001:db8:cb30:120::/64 400
