In our example, the router is connected with 1 GBit/s and it can receive more than the configured uplink bandwidth. This is shown in the display as an utilization of ">> 100%" and indicates a burst that might not be able to be handled by this uplink. | Please note that the burst analysis is done with 1 millisecond resolution by default.
