Important Considerations
■
A control can assign multiple rate limit values and an IEEE 802.1p
priority tag value to the packets that are associated with one or more
classifiers.
■
The system prompts you according to the rate limit type that you
select. You can only use one rate limit type (
none , receivePort , or
aggregate ) per control. For a type of receivePort or
aggregate , you can specify multiple rate-limit values for groups of
ports or individual ports. The aggregate rate limit type can only be
applied to flow classifiers.
■
Loss-eligible packets are conforming packets that are discarded
instead of queued when transmit queues back up beyond a threshold.
You can specify whether conforming packets (as well as
nonconforming excess packets) are loss eligible when you define the
control. Marking packets loss eligible is useful for an intelligent discard
of traffic in a congestion situation. Nonconforming excess packets are
packets that exceed the specified rate limit.
■
With the QoS timer control, you can configure QoS control sessions
with starting and ending times (similar to using a VCR).
