+Rates
+=====
+
+mlx5 devices can limit transmission of individual VFs or a group of them via
+the devlink-rate API in switchdev mode.
+
+User commands examples:
+
+- Print the existing rates::
+
+    $ devlink port function rate show
+
+- Set a max tx limit on traffic from VF0::
+
+    $ devlink port function rate set pci/0000:82:00.0/1 tx_max 10Gbit
+
+- Create a rate group with a max tx limit and add two VFs to it::
+
+    $ devlink port function rate add pci/0000:82:00.0/group1 tx_max 10Gbit
+    $ devlink port function rate set pci/0000:82:00.0/1 parent group1
+    $ devlink port function rate set pci/0000:82:00.0/2 parent group1
+
+- Same scenario, with a min guarantee of 20% of the bandwidth for the first VF::
+
+    $ devlink port function rate add pci/0000:82:00.0/group1 tx_max 10Gbit
+    $ devlink port function rate set pci/0000:82:00.0/1 parent group1 tx_share 2Gbit
+    $ devlink port function rate set pci/0000:82:00.0/2 parent group1
+
+- Cross-device scheduling::
+
+    $ devlink port function rate add pci/0000:82:00.0/group1 tx_max 10Gbit
+    $ devlink port function rate set pci/0000:82:00.1/32769 parent pci/0000:82:00.0/group1
