704.0. "Rate limit broadcast storms in the 900." by CGOS01::DMARLOWE (dsk dsk dsk (tsk tsk tsk)) Mon Feb 07 1994 15:09

    Will the DECbridge 900 MX have any abillity to rate limit broadcasts
    storms on one Ethernet from loading down one of the other 5 Ethernets?
    Or will this have to wait until routing?
    
    This is due to things like Appletalk going nuts and taking down
    a segment.  I know that TCP broadcast storms are not such a worry
    as they once were.
