Rate Limiting Ranges for Policies

You can define and apply rate limit values for user devices to control the data rate and types of network traffic the device transmits.

NOTE
For SmartZone release 3.4 and 3.2.x, the APs support the following rate limiting values:
  • 0.10Mbps
  • 0.25Mbps - 20.00Mbps (increments by 0.25Mbps)
  • 21.00Mbps - 200.00Mbps (increments by1.00mpbs)

For example, typing 6.45 Mbps maps to the closest predefined rate value, so 6.45Mbps will be rendered as 6.50Mbps.

NOTE
For SmartZone release 3.1.x, the APs support the following rate limiting values:
  • 0.10Mbps
  • 0.25Mbps - 20.00Mbps (increments by 0.25Mbps)
  • 30.00Mbps
  • 40.00Mbps
  • 50.00Mbps

For example, typing 31.50 Mbps maps to the closest predefined rate value, so 31.50 Mbps will be rendered as 40 Mbps. Any rate greater than 50.00Mbps would be mapped to the maximum rate which is 50.00Mbps.

Table 18 Rate Limiting ranges for different controller policies
Policy Global or Zone Rate limit range for zone running SmartZone 3.4 Rate limit range for zone running SmartZone 3.2.x Rate limit range for zone running SmartZone 3.1.x
Device Policy Zone 0.1 Mbps to 200 Mbps

Support uni-direction (Uplink and Downlink need not be enabled or disabled at the same time)

0.1 Mbps to 200 Mbps

No support for uni-direction (Uplink and Downlink need not be enabled or disabled at the same time)

0.1 Mbps to 200 Mbps. But any rate greater than 50Mbps will be mapped to 50 Mbps implicitly on the AP side when the rate is applied.

No support for uni-direction

User Traffic Profile Global 0.1 Mbps to 200 Mbps

No support for uni-direction because this is Global profile that is used by 3.2.x and 3.1.x APs

0.1 Mbps to 200 Mbps

No support for uni-direction

But any rate greater than 50Mbps will be mapped to 50 Mbps implicitly on the AP side when the rate is applied.

No support for uni-direction
