On my server, I set sv_maxRate to 6000 both on the commandline and in /main/server.cfg, and from the console, it displays sv_maxrate 6000.

But, when I do rcon status, it is showing players with a rate of 20,000. Is this rate correct or erroneous, and if correct, why is the sv_maxrate not being enforced?

I have a 1M upwidth (~122k/s), so I'm trying to determine a good balance of number of clients and rates .. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You're looking at what the clients have setup as their rates. Always the smaller amount of rate is used. In this occasion, your setting. http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif

Thank you very much. I might have guessed this from the performance increase I've seen since making the change, but your confirmation is much appreciated.
