| Members | ||
| Peers | Peers associated with this Egress Throttle Group. | Format: text box; numeric Range: 0-128 |
| Connections | Connections associated with this Egress Throttle Group. | Format: text box; numeric Range: 0-128 |

| Onset Threshold Level 2 (%) | When Egress Request Rate exceeds this percentage of maximum Egress Request Rate, the Congestion Level is set to 2. | Format: text box; numeric Range: 4-100 |
| Abatement Threshold Level 2 (%) | When Egress Request Rate falls below this percentage of maximum Egress Request Rate, the Congestion Level is set to 1. | Format: text box; numeric Range: 3-100 |

| *Convergence Time (msec) (%) | The time it will take in milliseconds to converge on a per second rate. If the convergence time is less than 1000 milliseconds, the rate is extrapolated. If the convergence time is greater than 1000 milliseconds, the rate is averaged. | Format: text box; pull down Range: 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 Default: 250 |
| *Abatement Time (msec) | The amount of time in milliseconds that the Egress Request Rate must remain below an abatement threshold before the Congestion Level is lowered. | Format: text box; numeric Range: 200-10000 Default: 500 |
