PS: Why Hotwire allows initial bursts? Any particular reasons?


Not just hotwire(packetshaper), but every bandwidth management solution provides burst speeds. The idea is that most of the network traffic comprises of small sized data. In a typical website download, the html file is a few kb, images are (ideally) a few kbs each. Thus providing burst speed support, these small downloads are snappy giving a better feedback to users. Sustained downloads on teh other hand are quickly brought down to allocated speeds.
