[Planetlab-users] Bandwidth

For outgoing (upload) bandwidth, the caps vary from site to site, and
can be found in this file:
http://www.planet-lab.org/xml/sites.xml

Look for the 'BWLIMIT=XXX' attributes on the HOST tags. '-1' means there
is no limit. Someone may have a prettier way to present this data, but I
believe that sites.xml is the authoritative source. Additionally, flows
that stay entirely within Internet 2 (basically, those between most US
universities) are not subject to the caps.

As far as I know, no PlanetLab nodes have caps on their incoming (ie.
download) bandwidth.

> Is that something that can be changed a bit ?

Bandwidth caps are a policy set by the sites hosting PlanetLab nodes,
and thus you cannot change them.
