Ingress Rate Limit on SwitchPort Profile NOT working
Hi there,
I'm re-building a larger scale network, trying to use TP-Link-Business Switches.
The "ingress rate limit" Parameter, found under
Port Profiles --> Advanced Options --> Bandwith Control --> Rate Limit
on the controller
is NOT working correctly !
The "egress rate limit" part works perfectly fine, though !
Details:
Having a Central OnPrem hosted Omada-SDN-Controller, works fine so far.
I need to restrict the bandwidth usage on some ports, using the "egress rate limit" and the "ingress rate limit",
found in the Port Profiles --> Advanced Options --> Bandwidth Control --> Rate Limit
If change the setting in the profile it gets immediately and correctly pushed to the switch ports that profile is assigned to.
I cross-checked this on the switch through the cli.
The devices on those ports are used as internet stations - with different download/Upload speeds.
I can test it by making a speedtest, having different settings on the port.
The "engress" parameter defines the download speed (going out of the switch)
The "ingress" parameter defines the upload speed
As there is 10Gig-Internet uplink in the background (YES !) I get results of 990-997 MBit/s in BOTH directions, if I run without any limitation (Interface speed = 1 GBit)
This is OK.
Applying "egress Bandwidth limit" works fine.
e.g. 50 MBit restriction gives 48MBit Download --> OK
Applying "ingress bandwidth limit" works badly.
e.B. 50 MBIT restriction breaks the speed down to 1,4 MBit
and other reproducable wrong results.
There is a firmware bug here !!
Seems to be a rare usage case, but I would need it urgently !
Thanks for help
