Rate limiting on virtual interfaces

The highest bandwidth used by a virtual interface can be limited. If this option is enabled, the rate limit gradients are as follows:

  • If the bandwidth is less than or equal to 100 Mbit/s, the rate limit gradient is 10 Mbit/s.
  • If the bandwidth is greater than 100 Mbit/s but less than or equal to 1,000 Mbit/s, the rate limit gradient is 100 Mbit/s.
  • If the bandwidth is greater than 1,000 Mbit/s but less than or equal to 100 Gbit/s, the rate limit gradient is 1 Gbit/s.
  • If the bandwidth is greater than 100 Gbit/s, the rate limit gradient is 10 Gbit/s.

Virtual interface priority

If multiple virtual interfaces are associated with one Direct Connect device, the load is balanced among virtual interfaces with the same priority, while virtual interfaces with different priorities are working in active/standby pairs.
