10-4 CHAPTER 10: ADMINISTERING IP MULTICAST ROUTING

Rate Limit

The rate limit determines how fast multicast traffic can travel over the interface in kilobytes per second. Multicast traffic may not exceed this rate limit or the LANplex system will drop packets in order to maintain the set rate. The default is set to 0, which implies no rate limit. In all other instances, the lower the rate limit, the more limited the traffic over the interface.
