Sustained Traffic Throttling

You can create separate inbound and outbound maximum sustained traffic rates. First configure a sustain rate window in seconds. Then configure the max inbound sustain rate and max outbound sustain rate parameters. In addition you can set an overall sustain rate with the max sustain rate parameter.

Regardless of the inbound or outbound sustained traffic rates’ headroom before exceeding the message constraints, if the total in/out traffic exceeds the max sustained rate (when configured), the target DNS server is set to Constraints Exceeded status and taken out of service.
