Broadcast/Multicast Storm Control
Broadcast and multicast storms consist of broadcast or multicast packets that flood and/or are looped on a network causing
noticeable performance degradation and, in extreme cases, network failure.
The DGS-3224TGR allows some control over broadcast/multicast storms by setting thresholds on the number of
broadcast/multicast packets received (in thousands of packets per second or Kpps), and then following a user-specified
course of action when this threshold is exceeded.
