Rate Control
Rate limiting is used to control the rate of traffic that is sent or received on a network interface. For ingress
rate limiting, traffic that is less than or equal to the specified rate is received, whereas traffic that exceeds the
rate is dropped. For egress rate limiting, traffic that is less than or equal to the specified rate is sent, whereas
traffic that exceeds the rate is dropped.
