Note: If the total ingress bandwidth exceeds the mirror port’s egress
bandwidth, packets will eventually be dropped on ingress to the
switch, which means they will not reach the mirror port or their
intended destination port. Input rate-limiting in conjunction with
port flow-control should be used to ensure that the total ingress
bandwidth never exceeds the egress bandwidth.
