Section I: Using the Menus Interface

Bandwidth Control Overview

If the performance of your network is affected by heavy traffic, you can use
bandwidth control to set the rate of various types of packets that a port
receives. You can control ingress packet types, including broadcast,
multicast, and DLF packets or a combination of all three types, and limit
their rates.

Note

DLF packets are unicast packets that are broadcast because of a
destination address lookup failure.
