Configures the rate limiting of traffic on a per meshpoint or per neighbor basis
Excessive traffic can cause performance issues or bring down the network entirely. Excessive
traffic, bombardments and interference are caused by numerous sources, such as network loops,
faulty devices, or malicious software (such as a worm or virus) that has infected one or more
branch-level devices. Rate limiting limits the maximum rate sent to or received from the wireless
network (and meshpoint) per neighbor. It prevents any single user from overwhelming the wireless
network. It also provides differential service for service providers. An administrator can set
separate QoS rate limit configurations for data transmitted from the network and data transmitted
from a mesh point's neighbor.
Before defining rate limit thresholds for meshpoint transmit and receive traffic, Brocade
recommends you define the normal number of ARP, broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast
packets that typically transmit and receive from each supported WMM access category. If
thresholds are defined too low, normal network traffic (required by end-user devices) is dropped,
resulting in intermittent outages and performance problems.
meshpoint Resets rate limit parameters for a meshpoint
neighbor Resets rate limit parameters for neighboring meshpoint devices
from-air Resets the rate limit value for traffic from the wireless neighbor to the network
to-air Resets the rate limit value for traffic from the network to the wireless neighbor
red-threshold Optional. Resets the random early detection (RED) threshold for traffic class. The options are:
•
background – Resets the threshold for low priority traffic
•
best-effort – Resets the threshold for best effort traffic
•
video – Resets the threshold for video traffic
•
voice – Resets the threshold for voice traffic
