Did you find it in Craig's old blog?  If so, you'll have seen that this
is an undocmumented experimental parameter.  Sun Ray makes no guarantees 
about what might happen if you play with it.

You can force it to any value above 64000.  I'm not sure what happens
if you force it to a value greater than the Ethernet bitrate.

No.  NewtBW puts an upper bound on the bandwidth that the Sun Ray will
advertise to a server.  The server and Sun Ray might agree to use less
than that upper bound.

10000000/100000000, I guess.  If the Sun Ray accepts values higher
than that then packet loss under load would be guaranteed and that
loss would cause the bandwidth to be throttled down anyway.

Are these Sun Rays on a VPN, VLAN, or working across some other
network that causes the MTU between server and Sun Ray to be 
smaller than the usual Ethernet MTU?  The problem you're
describing sounds more like packet loss due to fragmentation than
a bandwidth issue.  The Sun Ray should recover from lost packets 
but it won't necessarily recover from fragmentation.  The fix for 
fragmentation loss is to configure DHCP to tell the Sun Ray to 
use a smaller MTU.
