priority 03 by bit [6-0] of the port register ingress limit control 14. The two queues mode will use Q0Q1 for priority
01by bit [60] of the port register ingress limit control 12. The priority levels in the packets of the 802.1p and
DiffServ can be programmed to priority 0-3 by the register 128 and 129 for a re-mapping.
Egress Rate Limit
For egress rate limiting, the Leaky Bucket algorithm is applied to each output priority queue for shaping output traffic.
Inter frame gap is stretched on a per frame base to generate smooth, non-burst egress traffic. The throughput of
each output priority queue is limited by the egress rate specified by the data rate selection table followed the egress
rate limit control registers.
If any egress queue receives more traffic than the specified egress rate throughput, packets may be accumulated in
the output queue and packet memory. After the memory of the queue or the port is used up, packet dropping or flow
control will be triggered. As a result of congestion, the actual egress rate may be dominated by flow control/dropping
at the ingress end, and may be therefore slightly less than the specified egress rate. The egress rate limiting
supports the port-based, 802.1p and DiffServ-based priorities, the port-based priority is fixed priority 03 selection by
bits [43] of the port register control 0. The 802.1p and DiffServ-based priority can be mapped to priority 03 by
default of the register 128 and 129. In the egress rate limit, set register 135 global control 19 bit3 for queue-based
rate limit to be enabled if using two queues or four queues mode. All related ingress ports and egress port should be
split into two or four queues mode by the port registers control 9 and control 0. The four queues mode will use Q0-Q3
for priority 0-3 by bit [6-0] of the port register egress limit control 14. The two queues mode will use Q0Q1 for
priority 01by bit [60] of the port register egress limit control 12. The priority levels in the packets of the 802.1p and
DiffServ can be programmed to priority 03 by the register 128 and 129 for a re-mapping.
With egress rate limit just use one queue per port for the egress port rate limit, the priority packets will be based on
the data rate selection table with the rate limit exact number. If egress rate limit use more than one queue per port for
the egress port rate limit, the highest priority packets will be based on the data rate selection table for the rate limit
exact number and other lower priority packet rate will be limited based on 8:4:2:1 (default) priority ratio based on the
highest priority rate. The transmit queue priority ratio is programmable.
To reduce congestion, it is a good practice to make sure the egress bandwidth exceeds the ingress bandwidth.
Transmit Queue Ratio Programming
In transmit queues 0-3 of the egress port, the default priority ratio is 8:4:2:1, the priority ratio can be programmed by
the port registers control 10, 11, 12 and 13. When the transmit rate exceed the ratio limit in the transmit queue, the
transmit rate will be limited by the transmit queue 0-3 ratio of the port register control 10, 11, 12 and 13. The highest
priority queue will be no limited, other lower priority queues will be limited based on the transmit queue ratio.
Filtering for Self-Address, Unknown Unicast/Multicast Address and Unknown VID Packet/IP Multicast
Enable Self-address filtering, the unknown unicast packet filtering and forwarding by the Register 131 Global Control
15. Enable Unknown multicast packet filtering and forwarding by the Register 132 Global Control 16.
Enable Unknown VID packet filtering and forwarding by the Register 133 Global Control 17.
Enable Unknown IP multicast packet filtering and forwarding by the Register 134 Global Control 18.
This function is very useful in preventing those kinds of packets that could degrade the quality of the port in
applications such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and the daisy chain connection to prevent packets into
endless loop.

C Master Serial Bus Configuration
If a 2-wire EEPROM exists, the KSZ8864RMN can perform more advanced features like broadcast storm protection
and rate control. The EEPROM should have the entire valid configuration data from Register 0 to Register 255
defined in the “Memory Map,” except the status registers and indirect registers. After reset, the KSZ8864RMN will
start to read all control registers sequentially from the EEPROM. The configuration access time (t
) is less than
prgm
30ms, as shown in Figure 12.
