Hi,

I often use rspan sessions to analyse traffic at remote locations but the 
capacity between the analyser and the source is less than the 'potential' 
traffic I could select for analysis. In these cases, I may be sourcing from a 
10GB port and bringing that traffic to a remote location over another 10GB 
trunk port.

However, there was other (real) traffic on that trunk port before I enabled the 
rspan session, so my additional traffic could now exceed the 10GB available in 
total. Causing drops in the non-rspan traffic as it tries to egress the port 
along with the mirrored rpsan traffic.

Thus my question is, how do you rate-limit traffic before it is placed onto the 
rspan vlan? Or at least reduce its priority such that it has no impact at all 
on all other traffic egressing that port.

The platform in question is the 6500 / Sup-720

Cheers!
