Rate limiting in hardware
Configuring an ACL-based rate limiting policy
IP ACL-based rate limiting of inbound traffic provides the facility to limit the rate for IP traffic that
matches the permit conditions in extended IP ACLs. This feature is available in the Layer 2 and
Layer 3 code.
To configure ACL-based rate limiting on a Brocade device, you create individual traffic policies, then
reference the traffic policies in one or more ACL entries (also called clauses or statements). The
traffic policies become effective on ports to which the ACLs are bound.
For configuration procedures for ACL-based rate limiting,refer to Chapter 42, “Traffic Policies”.
