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-P510 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.
