Configuring Wireless Rate Limiting
3.14.1
Overview
The device supports four rate limiting modes: client-based rate limiting, SSID-based rate limiting, AP-based rate
limiting, and packet-based rate limiting. For the same client, if multiple rate limiting modes are configured, the
priority order is as follows: client-based rate limiting > SSID-based rate limiting > AP-based rate limiting > packet-
based rate limiting.
Client-based rate limiting: This function allows you to limit the rate based on the MAC address of the client,
so as to limit or guarantee the bandwidth required by specific clients.
SSID-based rate limiting: This function provides two rate limiting modes for a specified SSID: Rate Limit Per
User and Rate Limit All Users. Rate Limit Per User means that all clients connected to the SSID use the
same rate limit. Rate Limit All Users means that the configured rate limit value is evenly allocated to all
clients connected to the SSID. The rate limit value of each client dynamically changes with the number of
clients connected to the SSID.
AP-based rate limiting: This function limits the client rates based on the whole network. All clients connected
to the network will work according to the configured rate limit value.
Packet-based rate limiting: This function limits the client rates based on the downlink broadcast and multicast
packets. The device supports rate limiting for specific broadcast packets (such as ARP and DHCP), multicast
packets (such as MDNS and SSDP), or all types of broadcast and multicast packets. If network stalling
remains during network access and there is no client with large traffic, you are advised to adjust the rate
between 1 kbps and 512 kbps.
