Sorry for not having noticed this earlier, but can't you define the throttling group (and its limits) using -object throttle-group ... as shown in the previous patch, and simply reference it here? Or would we have two alternative ways of setting the throttling limits? What happens if you have many -drive lines each one with a different set of limits but with the same throttling group? Berto
