1 : Appliances Level 2 : Message-VPN Level 3 : Queue Level

Please let me know the possibility & share CLI Commend for same.

Answer 1

I assume you're asking if there is a way to set rate limits to ingress or egress traffic.

There is egress traffic shaping facility available on some NABs (e.g. NAB-0610EM, NAB-0210EM-04, NAB-0401ET-04, and NAB‑0801ET‑04) but it is per physical interface (port), e.g,

solace(configure/interface)# traffic-shaping
solace(configure/interface/traffic-shaping)# egress
solace(configure/interface/traffic-shaping/egress)# rate-limit <number-in-MBPS>

If your network RTT is significant enough, you might be able to do some "rate-limit" by constraining the TCP maximum send window size with a desired bandwidth-delay product. Note that this is not a generic solution and will only work for certain cases, depending on the network environment. It can be set on the client-profile for egress traffic:

solace(configure)# client-profile <name> message-vpn <vpn-name>
solace(configure/client-profile)# tcp max-wnd <num-kilo-bytes>

There is nothing you can do for rate-limiting ingress traffic on the appliance.

Answer 2

I don't believe SolOS-TR supports rate limiting on the appliance side.
