Traffic Control Settings

On a computer network, packets such as Multicast packets and Broadcast packets continually flood the network as

normal procedure. At times, this traffic may increase due to a malicious end station on the network or a malfunctioning

device, such as a faulty network card. Thus, switch throughput problems will arise and consequently affect the overall

performance of the switch network. To help rectify this packet storm, the Switch will monitor and control the situation.
