Bandwidth Control Using IPQoS

The IP quality-of-service feature helps you to provide consistent levels of services to network users and to manage network traffic. The service enables you to rank, control, and gather network statistics.

This feature controls inbound and outbound traffic of a Solaris zone. You specify the upper limit of the zone's input/output network bandwidth. The package is dropped if the limit is exceeded. Because IPQoS has a fair amount of CPU overhead, this is an optional feature.

Container Manager monitors and gathers work utilization data and provides a historical network utilization graph.
