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.
Rate Control Page
You can select the packet type that you want to filter. The Ingress packet types
supported are:
•
Ingress
•
Packet Type
•
•
The Egress rate supports all types of packets.
All ports support port Ingress and Egress rate control. For example, assume Port 1
is 10Mbps, you can set it's effective Egress rate at 2Mbps, Ingress rate at 1Mbps.
The ES8508 performs the Ingress rate by packet counter to meet the specified rate.
