4.5.5.2.1. Rate Limiter Configuration
Bits | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
31:21 | Reserved | Reserved |
20 | Rate Limit Logic Enable | Setting this bit enables the rate limiter logic that arbitrates master transfers. |
19:16 | Token Bucket Size | Program this field to indicate the maximum number of tokens that may accumulate at an interface when rate limiters are enabled. |
15:0 | Rate Limit Value (N) | Program this field to indicate the peak rate limit for traffic from the host interface to the coherency interconnect. If the value N represents the rate limit value, then the rate equation is: |
The rate limit value(N) is a 16-bit adder where the overflow bit is the token arrival bit.
For example, if you want to specify a rate of 1 token every 5 cycles (or 20%), program N to be 13107 (decimal) or 0x3333. When added together 5 times, the value is approximately 216, so one packet can be sent every 5 cycles.
