Bursty Traffic Throttling

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

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