Enabling Storm Control
A Broadcast Storm is a result of an excessive amount of broadcast messages simultaneously
transmitted across a network by a single port. Forwarded message responses are heaped onto the
network, straining network resources or causing the network to time out.
The system measures the incoming Broadcast and Multicast frame rate separately on each port,
and discard frames when the rate exceeds a user-defined rate.
