To define the VLAN ingress rate limit:
STEP 1 Click Quality of Service > General > VLAN Ingress Rate Limit.
This page displays the VLAN Ingress Rate Limit Table.
STEP  2 Click Add.
STEP  3 Enter the parameters.
• VLAN ID—Select a VLAN.
• Committed Information Rate (CIR)—Enter the average maximum amount 
of data that can be accepted into the VLAN in Kilobytes per second.
• Committed Burst Size (CBS)—Enter the maximum burst size of data for the 
egress interface in bytes of data. This amount can be sent even if it 
temporarily increases the bandwidth beyond the allowed limit. Cannot be 
entered for LAGs.
STEP  4 Click Apply. The VLAN rate limit is added, and the Running Configuration file is 
updated.
TCP Congestion Avoidance
The TCP Congestion Avoidance page enables activating a TCP congestion 
avoidance algorithm. The algorithm breaks up or avoids TCP global 
synchronization in a congested node, where the congestion is due to various 
sources sending packets with the same byte count.
To configure TCP congestion avoidance:
STEP 1 Click Quality of Service > General > TCP Congestion Avoidance.
STEP  2 Click Enable to enable TCP congestion avoidance, and click Apply.
