Necessity of limiting reservable bandwidth

This particular configuration is necessary because 20 percent of your system bandwidth is getting wasted and not used by your network. Usually when the network adapter makes the changes in the registry this particular setting is ignored and the default limit of bandwidth reserved is in 20 percent itself. So when the network adapter configuration is done automatically it is necessary that we should go for the manual changes in the limiting of the system reserved bandwidth. This helps in making use of our network bandwidth to greater extent.
