To solve this problem, the Rate Limiting feature can be configured on each port to provide each
user with 5 Mbps of high priority bandwidth into the fabric. Now the maximum possible amount of
traffic attempting to leave the chassis at high priority is 5 x 100 = 500 Mbps. The gigabit link has
ample capacity to carry this load out of the chassis. Similar provisioning calculations must be
carried throughout the network all the way to the particular resources to which the service
guarantee applies. The sum of the rate limits on all user ports cannot exceed the capacity of the
weakest point in the delivery path to the resource.
