lower than
the maximum measured downstream speed of your Internet
connection.
You may try different rates in order to determine which one

Note
Traffic Shaper cannot control the number or type of packets it
receives from the Internet; it can only affect the rate of incoming
traffic by dropping inbound traffic less accurate than the shaping of
outbound traffic. It is therefore recommended to enable traffic
shaping for incoming traffic only if necessary.
