The burst cap sets an upper limit on the amount of traffic that passes through your port. This cap is set automatically to the port speed, but you can reset it to a lower value after you have ordered Equinix Connect.
You can set or edit the burst cap to any value between the minimum bandwidth commit and the port speed in AMER and APAC. In EMEA, the burst cap is always set to the maximum upper limit or port speed.
Note: Australia allows for aggregate billing of two separate Equinix Connect services, so you can set the burst cap to two times (2x) the port speed.
Traffic can't burst beyond the port speed.
