This chapter includes:
■ Rate-Limiting: Enables a port to limit the amount of bandwidth a user
or device may utilize for traffic on the switch.
Note In earlier releases, all traffic rate-limiting applied to inbound traffic only,
and was specified as a percentage of total bandwidth. Beginning with
software release K.12.xx or later, it is also possible to configure outbound
rate-limiting for all traffic on a port, and specify bandwidth usage in terms
of kilobits per second (kbps).
■ Guaranteed Minimum Bandwidth (GMB): Provides a method for
ensuring that each of a port’s outbound queues has a specified minimum
consideration for sending traffic out on the link to another device.
■ Jumbo Frames: Enables ports operating at a minimum of 10 Mbps on the
ProCurve 3500 switches and 1 Gbps on the other switches covered in this
guide to accept inbound frames of up to 9220 bytes when configured for
jumbo traffic.
