What is the expected behavior when set VF Tx rate limit to 1 Gb and set VF/Queue (in VM) tx_maxrate to 5 Gb?

I have configured 1 Gb per VF maximum rate and it works. But when I configured 5 Gb rate limit on tx-0 or VF, I was able to get 5 Gb bitrate. I am curious that how a queue limit should exceed the limit of the VF port. The same behavior I observed with OVS police action.

Hi Ullah:

Could you show your config commands and the test result.

So we can check and understand your question better.
