+Traffic Control
+---------------
+
+Proxmox Backup Server allows to limit network traffic for clients
+within specified source networks. The following command adds a traffic
+control rule to limit all clients (network ``0.0.0.0/0``) to 100 MB/s:
+
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # proxmox-backup-manager traffic-control create rule0  --network 0.0.0.0/0 \
+   --rate-in 100000000 --rate-out 100000000 \
+   --comment "Default rate limit (100MB/s) for all clients"
+
+It is possible to restrict rules to certain time frames, for example
+the company office hours:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # proxmox-backup-manager traffic-control update rule0  \
+   --timeframe "mon..fri 8-12" \
+   --timeframe "mon..fri 14:30-18"
+
+If there are more rules, the server uses the rule with the smaller
+network. For example, we can overwrite the setting for our private
+network (and the server itself) with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # proxmox-backup-manager traffic-control create rule1 \
+   --network 192.168.2.0/24 \
+   --network 127.0.0.0/8 \
+   --rate-in 20000000000 --rate-out 20000000000 \
+   --comment "Use 20GB/s for the local network"
+
+.. note:: The behavior is undefined if there are several rules for the same network.
+
+To list the current rules use:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # proxmox-backup-manager traffic-control list
