Abstract:
A switching device includes a plurality of bandwidth tracking modules each configured to store an adjustable first threshold, a fullness level, and an adjustable rate. Subsets of the bandwidth tracking modules are assigned to each of the plurality of ports. Each subset includes one or more bandwidth tracking modules. A rate limiting module is configured to perform an action on a packet received at one of the plurality of ports based on the fullness levels of the bandwidth tracking modules in a corresponding one of the subsets of the bandwidth tracking modules.
