7.12 Rate Limit Commands
This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic
transmitted or received on an interface. Rate limiting is configured on interfaces
at the edge of a network to limit traffic into or out of the network. Traffic that falls
within the rate limit is transmitted, while packets that exceed the acceptable
amount of traffic are dropped.
Rate limiting can be applied to individual ports or trunks. When an interface is
configured with this feature, the traffic rate will be monitored by the hardware to
verify conformity. Non-conforming traffic is dropped, conforming traffic is
forwarded without any changes.
