### Setting Specific Network Rate for Particular Virtual Private Server

If traffic shaping is enabled on Hardware Node were VE is hosted, all VEs receive 8Kbps traffic guarantee plus access to bandwidth pool to borrow traffic if needed.

In some cases, you may need to set the fixed network rate for VE: for example as a penalty provision (not greater than 8Kbps up to the end of Subscription period) or in special cases, for a custom VEs (greater than usual network rate). In this case, VE loses access to bandwidth pool and the newly set network rate stands both for traffic guarantee and limit.

To limit (or increase) VE network rate, select the needed VE from the list and as soon as VE details will be displayed click the Configuration tab. After this, click the Show Advanced Options button. Click Edit and find the Guaranteed network rate parameter. For VEs that have access to bandwidth pool it should be set to zero. As soon as you type the nonzero network rate and save changes, such VE will lose access to bandwidth pool and start using bandwidth within the limit set by you.

Similarly, you can specify particular network rate for custom VEs on creation stage (setting Quality-of-Service parameters). Click Show Advanced Options button and specify the Guaranteed network rate parameter. After this proceed with the normal course of VE creation.
