Local Management: Overview, Setup, and Navigation
To solve this problem, the Rate Limiting feature can be configured on each port to
provide each user with 5 Mbps of high priority bandwidth into the fabric. Now
the maximum possible amount of traffic attempting to leave the chassis at high
priority is 5x100=500 Mbps. The gigabit link has ample capacity to carry this load
out of the chassis. Similar provisioning calculations must be carried throughout
the network all the way to the particular resources to which the service guarantee
applies. The sum of the rate limits on all user ports cannot exceed the capacity of
the weakest point in the delivery path to the resource.
