Flow Metering Table
Flow Metering Table is a per flow bandwidth control used to limit the bandwidth of the ingress traffic. When the users create an
ACL rule to filter packets, a metering rule can be created to associate with this ACL rule to limit traffic. The step of bandwidth is
64kbps. Due to limited metering rules, not all ACL rules can associate with a metering rule.
To view the Flow Metering Table, click ACL > Flow Metering Table.
