Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-pla/a83c07cf-df6d-4f1b-9b47-9cb0cf78cb1c

The Guid (Get) method retrieves the Guid property, which serves as the PLA-UID. It returns a GUID representing the PLA-UID.

```APIDOC
## Guid (Get) (Opnum 9)

### Description
Retrieves the Guid property, which is used as a PLA-UID.

### Method
propget

### Endpoint
Not applicable (this is an RPC-style method)

### Parameters
#### Out Parameters
- **guid** (GUID*) - Receives the PLA-UID. Any PLA-UID other than the value 0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000 is potentially a valid PLA-UID for a provider. Consequently, any value other than 0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000 will be considered valid for this property.

### Return Values
This method MUST return an HRESULT with the severity bit clear on success as specified in [MS-ERREF]; otherwise, it MUST return one of the errors as defined in 2.2.1 or one of the errors as defined in [MS-ERREF] section 2.1.

Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-rdpedyc/f6bf0f0b-577c-4e92-bd7c-e7f2953c0613

This example shows how to calculate the bandwidth distribution (BandwidthPriorityX) when given the PriorityCharge values, using the previously calculated values for a 70/20/7/3 distribution.

```plaintext
 Base = 936 * 3276 * 9362 * 21845 /
     (3276 * 9362 * 21845 + 936 * 9362 * 
     21845 + 936 * 3276 * 21845 + 936 * 
     3276 * 9362) = 655
            
 BandwidthPriority0 = 655/936 = 70%
 BandwidthPriority1 = 655/3276 = 20%
 BandwidthPriority2 = 655/9362 = 7%
 BandwidthPriority3 = 655/21845 = 3%
