Abstract
Packets destined for the route processor of a packet switching device are rate controlled. Typically, line cards are configured to rate limit packets of offending packet flows destined for the route processor, such, but not limited to in response to a quantity of packets in the route processor. Filtering of packets of offending packet flows at the line cards reduces the work required of the route processor.
