recommendation is a setting between 20 kbps and 20000 kbps for an individual 

rule. 
If you want to leave some bandwidth for traffic that does not match a bandwidth 

filter, make sure that the interface’s root class has more bandwidth than the sum 

of the bandwidths of the interface’s bandwidth management rules.

Enable a bandwidth management rule to give traffic that matches the rule priority 

over traffic that does not match the rule.
Enabling a bandwidth management rule also allows you to control the maximum 

amounts of bandwidth that can be used by traffic that matches the rule.
