<DocCD>
When the rate of multicast traffic exceeds a set threshold, all incoming
traffic (broadcast, multicast, and unicast) is dropped until the level drops
below the threshold level. Only spanning-tree packets are forwarded. When
broadcast and unicast thresholds are exceeded, traffic is blocked for only
the type of traffic that exceeded the threshold.

Subject: "storm-control" question
Hello everybody,
When using the storm-control command you can specify a rate limit for
incoming broadcast, multicast and unicast packets.
The Doc CD explains that if some kind of traffic exceeds the threshold, all
the traffic of this kind will be dropped.
In a workbook i have read that if the multicast threshold is exceeded, all
traffic of any kind(broadcast, multicast and unicast) will be dropped.
Could somebody tell me which one is correct? Who should i trust on?
Thanks
