Rate classes with inbound/outbound rate limits

Hi Srikanth,

 

 

I've run into this before and also wish that you could assign multiple rate classes to a single virtual. One solution to this might be to create a "backend" virtual server (ex. 10.0.0.2) with an outbound rate class of 150mbps (base and ceiling) and place your application servers in the pool. If you hit this virtual you should only be able to download from the server at 150mbps.

 

 

Next, create a separate "frontend" virtual (ex. 10.0.0.1) with another inbound (server type) rate class of 50mbps base/ceiling. In the pool member assignment for the second virtual, add the IP address of the first virtual server (10.0.0.2). Point your users at 10.0.0.1 and they should pass through both virtual servers and be subject to both rate class restrictions.

 

 

Give that a shot and let me know if it works.
