When the Protocol is set to link and the Link Type is set to VLAN, use the spinner
control to select a virtual LAN from 1 - 4094 to refine the rate limiting configuration to
a specific VLAN.
When the Protocol is set to link and the Link Type is set to VLAN, enter the IP address
as the network target for rate limiting.
When the Protocol is set to link and the Link Type is set to VLAN, use the spinner
control to set the virtual port (1 - 65,535) used for rate limiting traffic.
Define a rate limit between 50 - 1,000,000 kbps. This limit constitutes a threshold for
the maximum the number of packets transmitted or received (from all access
categories). Traffic that exceeds the defined rate is dropped and a log message is
generated. The default setting is 5000 kbps.
Use the spinner to set the maximum burst size from 0 - 1024 kb. The smaller the burst,
the less likely the upstream packet transmission will result in congestion for the
WLAN's client destinations. By trending the typical number of ARP, broadcast,
multicast and unknown unicast packets over a period of time, the average rate for
each access category can be obtained. Once a baseline is obtained, administrators
should add a 10% margin (minimally) to allow for traffic bursts. The default burst size
is 320 kbytes.
Configures the random early detection threshold (as a percentage) for low priority
background traffic. Background packets are dropped and a log message generated if
the rate exceeds the set value. Background traffic consumes the least bandwidth of
any access category, so this value can be set to a lower value once a general upstream
rate is known by the network administrator (using a time trend analysis). The default
setting is 50%.
Configures the random early detection threshold (as a percentage) for low priority best
effort traffic. Best-effort packets are dropped and a log message generated if the rate
exceeds the set value. Best effort traffic consumes little bandwidth, so this value can
be set to a lower value once a general upstream rate is known by the network
administrator (using a time trend analysis).The default setting is 50%.
Configures the random early detection threshold (as a percentage) for high priority
video traffic. Video packets are dropped and a log message generated if the rate
exceeds the set value. Video traffic consumes significant bandwidth, so this value can
be set to a higher value once a general upstream rate is known by the network
administrator (using a time trend analysis).The default setting is 25%
Configures the random early detection threshold (as a percentage) for high priority
voice traffic. Voice packets are dropped and a log message generated if the rate
exceeds the set value. Voice applications consume significant bandwidth, so this
value can be set to a higher value once a general upstream rate is known by the
network administrator (using a time trend analysis).The default setting is 0%.
