RatePaceMaxRate functionality does not work for the TCP flows where the round-trip time (RTT) is less than 6ms. That results in sending data at higher rates than specified Max Rate.
Packet loss might happen (queue overflow) due to sending at higher data rate than the specified max rate.
RTT is less than 6ms.
None.
RatePaceMaxRate works as expected, irrespective of latency.
