CONFIGURING RATE
LIMITING
Rate limiting controls the maximum rate for traffic transmitted or received
on an interface. Rate limiting can be configured on interfaces at the edge of
a network to form part of the customer service package by limiting traffic
into or out of the switch. Packets that exceed the acceptable amount of
traffic are dropped, while conforming traffic is forwarded without any
changes.
