Using Bandwidth Management
In general, one host should not be allowed to occupy unlimited bandwidth, particularly when the device
malfunctions. For example, so-called “broadcast storms” could be caused by an incorrectly configured topology,
or a malfunctioning device. The EDS-828 series not only prevents broadcast storms, but can also be configured
to a different ingress rate for all packets, giving administrators full control of their limited bandwidth to prevent
undesirable effects caused by unpredictable faults.
