6.6 Storm Control
When there are excessive broadcast, multicast or unknown unicast data flows in the LANs, the network speed decreases and
packet transmission timeout greatly increases. This is called LAN storm, which may be caused by topology protocol execution
errors or incorrect network configuration.
Users can perform storm control separately for the broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast data flows. When the rate of
broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast packets received by the device port exceeds the specified rate, the number of packets
allowed per second, or the number of kilobits allowed per second, the device transmits packets only at the specified rate, the
number of packets allowed per second, or the number of kilobits allowed per second, and discards packets beyond the rate
range, until the packet rate becomes normal, thereby avoiding flooded data from entering the LAN and causing a storm.
