This chapter includes:

■Rate-Limiting:Enables a port to limit the amount of bandwidth a user or device may utilize for traffic on the switch.

In earlier releases, all traffic rate-limiting applied to inbound traffic only, and was specified as a percentage of total bandwidth. Beginning with software release K.12.xx or later, it is also possible to configure outbound rate-limiting for all traffic on a port, and specify bandwidth usage in terms of kilobits per second (kbps).

■Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth (GMB): Provides a method for ensuring that each of a port’s outbound queues has a specified minimum consideration for sending traffic out on the link to another device.

■Jumbo Frames: Enables ports operating at a minimum of 10 Mbps on the ProCurve 3500 switches and 1 Gbps on the other switches covered in this guide to accept inbound frames of up to 9220 bytes when configured for jumbo traffic.
