As show below, the ingress of ath0 is limited to 1024Kbps, and the egress is limited to 2048Kbps. That means the receiving rate of the wireless link is limited within 1Mbps, the sending rate is limited to less than 2Mbps. But usually, the input limited effect is not obviously, thats because we could not control how quickly the traffic arrives. However, when a port sends out egress traffic, it can control how quickly the traffic exits. Burst defines the how many bytes allowed for downloading/uploading during a short time. That leads to momentary throughput can greater than the limit value.

 Egress traffic entering ath0, control the input rate traffic exiting ath0, control the output rate Figure 7-4 Traffic Shaping The relationship of rate and burst for ingress:

 Set burst to 0, the rate of ingress is unlimited

 Set burst to about 1/10 of rate limit, the rate curve is stable

 Set burst larger than rate limit, the rate curve will hold a high value for a while then down to stable 29 User Manual of DS-3WF03C-D Outdoor Video Wireless Network Bridge Below is the table that reflects the relationship between ingress rate limit and burst.

As show below, we add a VLAN on port ath0. The VLAN ID is 10. The range of VLAN ID is 2~4094. Each VLAN ID represents a different VLAN. 30 User Manual of DS-3WF03C-D Outdoor Video Wireless Network Bridge Figure 7-5 VLAN Bridge function is needed to be used together with VLAN. As show below, we add VLAN 10 on port eth0 and ath0, they are eth0.10 and ath0.10, and put them into the same bridge. The packets from eth0.10 or ath0.10 will be added a VLAN label which ID is 10. That requires: the opposite wireless connection side must support VLAN 10, the device which connects with eth0 is also need to support VLAN 10. Below is a common usage:
