Hi Vivek,
Currently, we assign weight to a group, but user still doesn't know how fast the group runs. With io rate interface, users can check the rate of a group at any moment, or to determine whether the weight assigned to a group is enough. bytes and time interface is just for debug purpose.
Thanks, Gui
