Subject: maximal supported bit rate in traffic control

Hi,

In RHEVM we use traffic control to enable users to shape their QoS on
the networks they use.

IIUC from the traffic control man page, the maximal bit rate currently
supported (RHEL 7.4) is 2^32 - 1 bytes per sec, which translates to 32
Gibit\s if I have done my maths correctly.

Does anyone know whether there are any plans to support larger bit
rate values upstream or downstream soon or at all?

Thanks a lot
