I'm running a test with Avalanche Virtual and I'm seeing in the event.log "curbs put on for MaxConnectionsRate". What does this mean?

Answer

In Avalanche Virtual, the limitations for the capacities of a test (such as bandwidth, connection rate, concurrent connections, etc) are determined by the license file (can be Functional or Performance). If your load profile exceeds some of the license limitations, curbs are put on to block the load from going higher. The generated event.log will look like this:
