Interface Tunnel Bandwidth

[Mokhalil82]

Hi

I have been provided a 500MBPs link from the ISP which terminates into G0/0 on my router. I will be using 2 x  DMVPN  tunnel interfaces on this physical connection. Do I need to set the tunnel bandwidth to 250MBPS per tunnel or is it better to use 500MBPS per tunnel.

I understand the command may not affect the traffic load allowed but instead is used by routing, QOS etc but m just curious what people would usually do 

Thanks

What I usually do is have tunnel bandwidth reflect the expected amount of bandwidth expected to be available across the tunnel between two locations.
