4.3 Rate Limiter
To ensure reliable data exchange during heavy traffic, the device can limit the

permitted to transmit and receive.
If the data load transmitted at this port exceeds the maximum load entered,
the device will discard the excess data at this port.
A global setting enables/disables the rate limiter function at all ports.
