Global DC Gateways

A global DC gateway can work with enterprise routers in the same region or different regions to build a central network so that your on-premises data center can access the VPCs over the Huawei backbone network. This can reduce network latency, simplify network topology, and improve O&M efficiency.

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 is 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 is 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.
