MD_MAX_BANDWIDTH can be set at either the local machine level or the server level. The identifier is not inheritable, but the value of MD_MAX_BANDWIDTH set at the local machine level applies to all instances of servers that do not have instance-specific MD_MAX_BANDWIDTH settings of their own. Values for this identifier set at the individual server level are permitted to exceed the global values established at the local machine.
