| Description | Maximum bandwidth allowed for this interface as a
whole, typically used to shape the outbound
transmission rate. The value is specified in terms
of percentage of overall link speed for the port in
1% increments. A value of 0 means there is no
maximum bandwidth limit in effect and that the
interface is allowed to transmit up to its maximum
line rate (i.e., work conserving method).
The default value is 0.
When set to a non-zero value, the interface is
restricted to using at most the bandwidth specified
in this object for the outbound transmission rate
(i.e., non-work-conserving method). This bandwidth
value is independent of any per-queue maximum
bandwidth value(s) in effect for the interface, as
specified in the agentCosQueueMaxBandwidth ohject,
and should be considered as a second-level
transmission rate control mechanism that regulates
the output of the entire interface regardless of
which queues originate the outbound traffic.
Valid value ranges depend on the value returned by
object agentCosQueueIntfShapingRateUnits. If that
object returns percent(1), agentCosQueueIntfShapingRate
accepts values 0..100. If that object returns kbps(2),
agentCosQueueIntfShapingRate accepts values
0,64..4294967295. |
