Hi Michael You need to configure rate-limit based on your link speed and the requirement.
Let's say you are an ISP having 1544 Kbps link and you are poviding 256 kbps for 6 users. To ensure that an user doesn't consume more than 256 kbps, you need prevent the user by some means. Hence you either configure rate limit inbound on the ISP side or outbound on the user side. rate-limit input 256000000 7000 4000 conform-action transmit exceed-action drop With regards Kings On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 1:10 PM, Michael Davis <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi everyone – I have 2 questions about the legacy rate-limit command. > > 1.
