Configuring Port Traffic Rate Limiting
Purpose
To limit the rate of inbound or outbound traffic on the Matrix Series device on a per port/priority
basis. The allowable range for the rate limiting is 64 kilobytes per second minimum up to the
maximum transmission rate allowable on the interface type.
Rate limit is configured for a given port and list of priorities. The list of priorities can include one,
some, or all of the eight 802.1p priority levels. Once configured, the rate of all traffic entering or
leaving the port with the priorities configured to that port is not allowed to exceed the programmed
limit. If the rate exceeds the programmed limit, frames are dropped until the rate falls below the
limit.
