### Enabling Traffic Shaping for Virtuozzo Hardware Nodes

For Virtuozzo Hardware Nodes, you can enable the network traffic shaping and manage the bandwidth for Containers hosted on this Hardware Node.

To enable traffic shaping, go to the Service Director - Virtuozzo Manager - Nodes. Select one of the Virtuozzo Hardware Nodes and edit its Traffic Shaping settings under the General Settings tab:

- Check the Enable traffic shaping on this hardware node box.
- Type the speed of Ethernet adapter on the Hardware Node into the Total bandwidth field.
