Applied rates for RADIUS-assigned rate limits

A particular switch does not necessarily support all rates. The actual rate applied is rounded down to the nearest value that is supported by switch. The increments are in graduated steps, as described in the following table.

RADIUS-assigned rate-limit increments

RADIUS-assignedbits-per-second rate limit

Applied rate-limiting increment

1 - 10,999,999

100 Kbps

11,000,000 - 100,999,999

1 Mbps

101,000,000 - 999,999,999

10 Mbps

1,000,000,000 - 10 Gbps

100 Mbps

For example, some of the following RADIUS-assigned rates fall between their respective incremental values, resulting in applied rates lower than the RADIUS-assigned rates. However, others match their respective incremental values, resulting in no difference between the RADIUS-assigned rate limits and the applied rate limits.
