| at any one instance. In the “Token Bucket” algorithm this is referred to as the size of |
|
|
| the bucket as this value limits the number of tokens that can accumulate in the bucket. |

12.1.2 Broadcast Storm Control Setup
Broadcast storm control limits the number of broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast (also referred to as Destination Lookup Failure or DLF) packets the switch receives per second on the ports. When the maximum number of allowable broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast packets is reached per second, the subsequent packets are discarded. Enable this feature to reduce broadcast, multicast and unknown unicast packets in your network.
