man drbd.conf
rate rate
To ensure smooth operation of the application on top of DRBD, it
is possible to limit the bandwidth which may be used by back‐
ground synchronizations. The default is 250 KB/sec, the default
unit is KB/sec. Optional suffixes K, M, G are allowed.

It will be the default of 250 KB/sec.
If you have a _dedicated_ interface you would want to use the full
bandwith - or not? And it will work with e.g. 'rate 20M' on a 100 Mbit
NIC - obviously only on the lower limit of the NIC.
