What are the methods to protect the port from overloads?

Question

Computer networks

Good afternoon.
Please tell me, are there any standard methods for protecting traffic when the physical port is overloaded by capacity in the L2 network?
For example, is it possible to disable a port if there is PacketPoss/BLER on the required port so that traffic goes through the backup link.

Based on your description, you want something like storm-control . There are many places, for example Cisco:
