nodetool setstreamthroughput

Sets the throughput capacity in megabits per second (Mb/s) for outbound streaming in the system. Overwrites the stream_throughput_outbound_megabits_per_sec setting in cassandra.yaml.

If inter_dc_stream_throughput_outbound_megabits_per_sec is set, its value should be less than or equal to stream_throughput_outbound_megabits_per_sec because inter_dc_stream_throughput_outbound_megabits_per_sec is a subset of the total throughput.

To view the current setting, use nodetool getstreamthroughput.
