ABSTRACT:
A network device, which includes a plurality of network ports, a switching unit, a data classification unit, and a rate control unit, is provided. The plurality of network ports is configured to send and receive input data packets. The switching unit is coupled to the plurality of network ports and is configured to switch input data packets from a first port to a second port. The rate control unit is coupled to the switching unit and configured to control a data rate provided to each port of the plurality of network ports. The data classification unit is coupled to the switching unit and to the rate control unit. The data classification unit is configured to classify data packets based on their contents and output a classification to the rate control unit. The rate control unit is configured to perform rate control for input data packets based on the classification of each data packet.
