# Configure Bandwidth Cap

Select your desired bandwidth cap between two access points of your Layer 2 private connect. The larger the bandwidth cap, the lower the unit price. You're recommended to set a bigger bandwidth cap.

When connecting to a public cloud, you can now configure the **public cloud access bandwidth** independently, so that it can **differ from the backbone bandwidth** rather than having to match it. When you need to scale, you can adjust the backbone bandwidth and the public cloud access bandwidth separately, without complex reconfiguration on the public cloud side, making scaling more flexible and convenient.

* <mark style="color:blue;">If you connect to a public cloud, you can configure the public cloud access bandwidth independently so that it can differ from the backbone bandwidth. The public cloud usually provides the access bandwidth specifications as follows, and you will be charged for the nearest specification higher than your configuration as the cloud connect bandwidth.</mark>
