Understanding Broadcast and Multicast Rate Limiting
Limiting the rate of multicast and broadcast traffic can improve overall network performance by limiting the number of packets transmitted into the wireless network. In some protocols, this limits the number of redundant packets transmitted across the network. The default and maximum rate limit is 50 packets per second.
The burst rate limit allows intermittent bursts of traffic above the rate limit on the network. Setting the burst rate limit determines how much traffic bursts there can be before all traffic exceeds the rate limit. The default and maximum burst rate limit is 75 packets per second.
The maximum rate and maximum rate burst can be configured on a per-radio basis.
Frames exceeding the configured threshold are dropped.
