Rate Limit reports provide options for reporting the percentage of bandwidth used
in a pipeline of traffic for rate limit action sets. You can generate reports by device
and by rate limit action set. Rate limiting through an action set defines a maximum
bandwidth that can be used by traffic that matches filters assigned to that action
set. Incoming traffic in excess of this bandwidth is dropped. If two or more filters
use the same rate limiting action set, then all packets matching these filters share
the bandwidth.
The SMS includes two rate limit report templates: Rate Limits by Specific Device and
Specific Rate Limit Action Set.
The following table lists the criteria panels that are available for these report
templates.
| Use this criteria panel... | To filter the report by: |
| Device / Rate Limit Criteria | Device or Rate Limit action set.

| Device Rate Limit Report Options | Time (minute, hours, or days) and/or throughput. |
