Line rate overview
NOTE:
Line rate supports rate-limiting the inbound traffic and the outbound traffic. The outbound traffic is taken
for example.
The line rate of a physical interface specifies the maximum rate for forwarding packets (including critical
packets).
Line rate also uses token buckets for traffic control. With line rate configured on an interface, all packets
to be sent through the interface are handled by the token bucket at line rate. If enough tokens are in the
token bucket, packets can be forwarded. Otherwise, packets are put into QoS queues for congestion
management. In this way, the traffic passing the physical interface is controlled.
