WRED can be used in combination with storm control to regulate broadcast and unknown-unicast traffic.
This feature is available through an additional option in command
storm-control [broadcast |
unknown-unicast] at CONFIGURATION. See the FTOS Command Line Reference for information on
using this command.
Using the command
storm-control broadcast 50 out wred-profile, for example, first the total bandwidth that
broadcast traffic can consume is reduced to 50% of line rate. Even though broadcast traffic is restricted, the
rate of outgoing broadcast traffic might be greater than other traffic, and if so, broadcast packets would
consume too much buffer space. So, the
wred-profile option is added to limit the amount of buffer space
that broadcast traffic can consume.
