Storm Control is enabled per port by defining the packet type and the rate the
packets are transmitted. The system measures the incoming Broadcast and
Multicast frame rates separately on each port and discards the frames when the
rate exceeds a user-defined rate.
The system measures incoming Unknown Unicast frames (addressed to an
unknown destination MAC address) separately. The defined Unknown Unicast rate
threshold is the maximum rate that all ports are allowed to forward at any single
time.
