Rate Limit
13.1 Rate Limit Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure rate limits for traffic flows.
Rate limit control means defining a maximum allowable bandwidth for incoming
and/or out-going traffic flows on a port.
Before configuring the rate limit you will need to classify the traffic flow. A
classifier distinguishes traffic into flows based on a configured criteria. You can
then change the rate limit for that particular flow of traffic.
