Bandwidth Limiting
Bandwidth Limiting can be set per port in both transmit and receive directions. The
limiting function provides a Leaky Bucket traffic shaping function when placed on the
TX side of a port. When the transmit limit is reached on a port, it will stop
transmitting until the bucket level falls below the set level. When placed on the RX
side it functions more like a hard Bandwidth limiter. When the Bucket level is
reached, the port will stop receiving frames and will issue PAUSE frames back to the
port until this bucket level clears.
Bandwidth Limiting is entered as any value from 0 to the MAX bandwidth of the port.
