Wei and Alex,
Thanks. That was it. I had overlooked that setting and wasn't using
the word "throttle/throttling" in my searching. Additionally, I had
misinterpreted the value of NULL in the service offerings: I though
blank/NULL meant infinity instead of 0 meaning infinity. (NULL means use
the global setting parameter.)
Here's the default global settings should someone find this thread
in the future and just want to change the default for everything instead
of creating new Network Offerings:
network.throttling.rate (for applying to the network offerings)
vm.network.throttling.rate (for applying to the service offerings)
Note that I had to fully stop, then start a guest VM or recreate a
the virtual router for the global settings to take effect.
Thanks,
-Nathan McGarvey
