Configuring Rate Limits

This function allows the network manager to control the maximum rate for traffic
transmitted or received on a port. Rate limiting is configured on ports at the edge of
a network to limit traffic coming 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.
