Rate Limiting Configuration Sets provide the mechanism to enter data needed by Egress Throttle Groups (on the SOAM GUI) and Egress Throttle Lists (on the NOAM GUI) to perform egress throttling by egress message rate. For details about the NOAM functionality, see Rate Limiting Configuration Sets on the NOAM.
You can perform these tasks on an Active System OAM (SOAM).
Rate Limiting can be enabled on the SOAM Main Menu:
page.For NOAM functionality, you must change the Egress Throttling Control Scope of the Egress Control Group to ETL and enable Egress Message Rate Throttle on the Egress Throttle Group before Egress Message Rate Throttling can be started on Egress Throttle Lists.
The Rate Limiting Configuration Set fields are described in Rate Limiting Configuration Sets elements.
On the Rate Limiting Configuration Sets [Insert] page, you can add a new Rate Limiting Configuration Set. See Adding a Rate Limiting Configuration Set.
If the maximum number of Rate Limiting Configuration Sets already exists in the system, an error message displays.
On the Rate Limiting Configuration Sets [Edit] page, you can edit the selected Rate Limiting Configuration Set. See Editing a Rate Limiting Configuration Set.
