Using Bandwidth Management In general, one host should not be allowed to occupy unlimited bandwidth, particularly when the
device malfunctions. For example, so-called “broadcast storms” could be caused by an incorrectly
configured topology, or a malfunctioning device. The EDS-510A series not only prevents
broadcast storms, but can also be configured to a different ingress rate for all packets, giving
administrators full control of their limited bandwidth to prevent undesirable effects caused by
unpredictable faults.
