T4240 Ingress packet rate limiting

[sedat_altun]

Hi,

Is it possible to limit the ingress packet rate on T4240RDB?

We don't have any specific example for your case.

You can't restrict the traffic inbound as such, if want that, you need a firewall in the middle, but you can drop_traffic by using some policy file; in other words, you can distributing frames over a range of frames queues ( FQs ) and the traffic that not compliant with the policy will be dropped.

It could be done by using the Linux tools, but the performance will not be the best.
Please review the next links , that show you how to controle the traffic inbound

Thank you for your reply.

But as you mentioned it is not a good solution to use linux tools. Instead I am looking for a mechanism using T4240 SoC capabilities. For example we have a solution for limiting egress rate by using fmc tool, and we are seeking a similar solution at ingress.
