Pull request overview
This PR updates the “Network Throttling” section of the Admin Guide to clarify how CloudStack applies network rate settings and how defaults/fallbacks work across offering types and global configuration.
Changes:
- Rewrote the introductory explanation of network throttling/network rate and where it can be defined.
- Added clarification on NULL/default behavior and how system vs guest network defaults are treated.
- Updated the illustrative example values for shared vs isolated networks.
