This window lets you edit or delete a rate limit or rate shaper. Rate limits/shapers are components of a Policy Manager class of service, and are used to control the transmit rate at which traffic enters and exits ports in your network.
To access this window, open the Class of Service Configuration Window (available from the Policy Manager Edit menu). Double-click a rate in the table and select Edit/Delete Rates/Actions from the drop-down menu. You can edit the actual rate and actions, or delete the rate completely.
