How are "Limit" objects enforced on gateway?

[rogerp]

Hi!
We're testing out Limit objects to set a maximum bandwidth for traffic that hits a certain rule. Seems to be working.
We do NOT have the QoS blade enabled.
How is the traffic shaped on the security gateway? Is QoS used although the blade is disabled?
If we hit the maximum bandwidth - what can we expect? Packets discarded (leading to TCP retransmissions)? Increased latency due to queuing?

Perhaps someone can share some knowledge on this topic.

Limit Objects are done as part of App Control and don't rely on the QoS blade at all.
It appears from this thread we drop packets that exceed the threshold:
