4.3.3 Rate Control
Rate limiting is a form of flow control used to enforce a strict bandwidth limit at a
port. You can program separate transmit (Egress Rule) and receive (Ingress Rule)
rate limits at each port, and even apply the limit to certain packet types as
described below.
Packet type: You can select the packet type that you want to filter. The packet
types of the Ingress Rule listed here include Broadcast Only / Broadcast and
multicast / Broadcast, Multicast and Unknown Unicast or All. The packet types
of the Egress Rule (outgoing) only support all packet types.
Rate: This column allows you to manually assign the limit rate of the port. Valid
values are from 1Mbps-100Mbps for Fast Ethernet ports and Gigabit Ethernet
ports. The step of the rate is 1 Mbps. Default value of Ingress Rule is 8 Mbps;
default value of Egress Rule is 0 Mbps. The value 0 stands for disabling the rate
control for the port.
