[cod] Traffic data question

[Richard Harrison]

I know that max_rate is something to do with limiting the amount of data that a server sends but can someone tell me exactly what it is to do with.
 
i.e. is it the amount fo data per client or how much it can send out in total or am i way off the mark??

This server was just for testing but we have 15000 sv_rate setup..

Thanks,

Paul
