Egress ACL Rate Limiting

The device supports egress port and ACL rate limiting. With egress ACL rate limiting, you can control the egress rate limit on a Layer 2 VLAN, a bridge domain, or an ACL.

The egress ACL rate limiting feature is not supported on SLX 9150, SLX 9250, Extreme 8520, and Extreme 8720.

In general, you configure a rate limit profile by creating a QoS policy and associating it with a QoS class map. Under this rate limit profile, you configure the expected rate. Egress ACL rate limiting supports the following scheduling and shaping rules:

Table 1. Supported network topology for unicast ingress and egress traffic
Ingress packets Egress packets
Layer 2 port, VLAN or BD Layer 2 port, VLAN or BD
VPLS Layer 2 port, VLAN or BD
Note

Note

A VPLS or VxLAN egress topology is not supported. Multicast traffic is not rate limited by the RL profile but it is rate limited by the port rate limit.
