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.
