TTL 0/1 Rate Limiting

SLX 9150/Extreme 8520 and SLX 9250/Extreme 8720 rate limiting

Frames with a Time to Live (TTL) value of 0 or 1 (TTL 0/1) are diverted to a separate queue (queue number 0, with a rate limit of 1,000 pps), with further rate limiting of 40 Kbps and TTL-1 frames to 2, 000 Kbps provided by the ctrl-classifier policers. Because the TTL 0/1 trap queue is separate from other control protocol queues, the other control protocols are not blocked.

SLX 9540 and SLX 9640 rate limiting

The TTL 0/1 rate limit of 40 Kbps is provided by the ctrl-classifier policers. The IPv4 and IPv6 TTL-1 and IPv6 TTL-0 are rate limited to 40 Kbps in all TCAM profiles. IPv4 TTL-0 is rate limited to 1 Mbps in the Default, App-Telemetry, and L2-rate Limit TCAM profiles and to 40 Kbps in the remaining TCAM profiles.

Because a low TTL 0/1 rate limit is required to prevent flapping in scale protocol tests and scenarios, the rate limit is hard-coded in the driver software. You cannot change it.
