estimated-downstream-bandwidth vs inbandwidth

[paulinster]

Hi community, 

Under interface there's 2 setting where we could set the estimated bandwidth, however I am not sure sure to understand the difference and/or how they relate to each other or rest of config. 

config system interface

edit "my-inet-iface"

set inbandwidth <some_value_in_kbps>

set estimated-downstream-bandwidth <some_value_in_kbps>

set outbandwidth <some_value_in_kbps>

set estimated-upstream-bandwidth <some_value_in_kbps>

next

end

I do understand the need of those values, but I find them redundant and/or not sure how they relate to other config (QOS/SD-WAN)

Hello

inbandwidth and outbandwidth is to limit traffic at interface level. It is a kind of traffic shaping.

The estimated ones are for sdwan calculation for maximize traffic.
