WAN link is 8MB, Riverbed is licenced for 4MB. What is my effective link speed?

If the WAN link at once our branch offices is 8MB, but the riverbed appliance on site is only licenced for 4MB, what is my link speed?

Is the link throttled to 4MB in total
or is it 4MB compressed, & the remaining 4MB uncompressed?

We use them mainly to accelerate Citrix published Desktops & Apps & printing across the WAN.
So from the sound of it, the effective speed is still 8MB. However only 4MB is being accelerated?

Just wanted to make sure we weren't throttled to 4MB and paying for an additional 4MB which we weren't utilising.

Also, I would like to add that is a good practice to have Internet speed greater than the license of the riverbed

Best regards!
