Applied rates for RADIUS-assigned rate limits

Rate limits are applied incrementally on the switches, as determined by the RADIUS-applied rate. For any given bandwidth assignment, the switch applies the nearest rate increment that does not exceed the assigned value.

For example, some of the following RADIUS-assigned rates fall between their respective incremental values, resulting in applied rates lower than the RADIUS-assigned rates. However, others match their respective incremental values, resulting in no difference between the RADIUS-assigned rate limits and the applied rate limits.
