Usage
Information
On 40-port 10G stack-unit if the traffic is shaped between 64 and 1000 Kbs, for
some values, the shaped rate is much less than the value configured
NOTE: When packets of size greater than 7000 bytes are expected to be
received from the network, Dell Networking recommends that you configure
the burst value to be more than 175 KB if you configured the rate shape. Such
a setting ensures proper bandwidth sharing across queues.
