For each QoS policy, the following information can be displayed:

Capacity-based limits are set per unit of used logical capacity. - *Provisioned Capacity*. Capacity-based limits are set per unit of logical capacity provisioned by the soft limit of a quota on the view path. |
| Limit By | Specifies which performance characteristics(s) are limited by the QoS policy: - *BW and IOPS*. Both bandwidth (BW) and I/O per second (IOPS) is limited. - *BW*. Only bandwidth is limited. - *IOPS*. Only IOPS is limited. |
