I need to control bandwidth on the public facing interface on a vpc, and use 
separate rates on the interfaces of the tiers.

Vpc is configured as such:
Public interface (to internet)
Tier1 interface (to VMs)
Tier2 interface (to VMs)

I would like the VMs on the tiers to be able to communicate with each other at 
the transport speed (1Gbps), but would like to throttle the bandwidth on the 
public interface.

I have set various network rates in the vpc network offerings which seems to 
have no overall effect on the bandwidth.

To successfully throttle bandwidth I had to do the following:

1.       Create a new domain router system offering and set the network rate to 
the desired BW

2.       Create a vpc offering that utilizes the new system offering I created 
in step 1

3.       Create a vpc that uses the new vpc offering created in step 2

4.       Create network offerings using various network rates

5.       Create tiers on the vpc created in step 3 using the network offerings 
in step 4

The above config does achieve bandwidth throttling, but via the network rate 
defined on the system offering and it does so on all interfaces on the created 
vpc.

Is there a way to only limit bandwidth on the public facing interface of the 
vpc?

thanks
