Can Mini Maxwell limit bandwidth?
Yes. Mini Maxwell uses a rate-limiting token bucket filter of the same kind that are found in many internet routing and switching devices. Please note that rate limitation is slightly different than emulation of a link. Rate limitation is concerned with average traffic rates over a span of time; link emulation is concerned with things like the time to serialize the bits onto the link, the packet propagation delay, queue lengths and queue overflows, and the overhead of link level headers. For most users the difference boils down to this: a rate limiter may sometimes allow a packet to flow through without delay if there has been a prior idle period, a link emulator recognizes that no packet, even if there had been an idle period, can escape serialization and propagation delays.
