[cod] Traffic data question

[Andre Lorbach]

Its the max amount of kbytes (as far as I know) >per client< a server
sends out. 
If the amount is reached, packets will be dropped and the player will
expirience a lag
 
delta

	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??
