I found this in the release notes:
6) The IN-BANDWIDTH column in both /etc/shorewall/tcdevices and
/etc/shorewall/tcinterfaces now accepts an optional burst parameter.
<rate>[:<burst>
setting the rate to 32mbps:100kbps did not affect the speed at all. What is
a rational number to put here that should let a client burst to full
capacity? is is 32mbps:32mbps ?
