From d7a4a9b2ffe134eaf33c1965ab29a0fae416e166 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Privoznik Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 11:42:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] formatdomain.html.in: Document implementation limitation of QoS The outbound/@peak is ignored (since QoS was introduced). This is due to kernel limitation of know allowing ingress filters to have peak just average rate. However, we should document this limitation to not confuse users. --- docs/formatdomain.html.in | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/formatdomain.html.in b/docs/formatdomain.html.in index d2cee678c8..78e132ea7f 100644 --- a/docs/formatdomain.html.in +++ b/docs/formatdomain.html.in @@ -3530,7 +3530,9 @@ qemu-kvm -net nic,model=? /dev/null peak speed.
