If you do not specify an explicit bandwidth for a link, you get a "native
speed" link, which for the d430s could be either 1Gb or 10Gb since these
machines have both 1Gb and 10Gb NICs. Which you get depends on the specific
nodes available at the time and the heuristics of the mapping algorithm.
You can specify a bandwidth of one or the other to ensure you get a native
link at the desired speed.
"Traffic shaping" is a different mechanism that was intended for BWs that
don't match the native speed (or if you need to induce delay or packet loss).
However, for bandwidth, it only works well for BWs of less than 100Mbs.

I have seen that I can specify the traffic shaping parameters for each of the node in the Lan (e.g. by setting value to request.LAN(???lan???).bandwidth etc). So I am wondering about the default value for bandwidth, latency, packet loss.
