• period--the number of packets from a source address that should be dropped before sending another to the decision-maker; range: 1 to 4294967295

Must be in configuration mode (config-engine), which requires privileged-level access.

Use this command to down-sample each of the addresses sent by the EFC module to the decision-maker process by 1/<period>. For example, if you set the period to 5, then only one out of every five packets received from a particular address will be sent to the decision-maker. This can be useful if you expect a very high traffic load on the EFC module, which would in turn flood the decision-maker with more data than is useful.
