The switch can set the maximum upload or download data transfer rate for

any port. It can also control traffic storms by setting a maximum threshold

for broadcast traffic or multicast traffic. It can also set bounding thresholds

for broadcast and multicast storms which can be used to automatically

trigger rate limits or to shut down a port.

Congestion Control includes following options:
