+Federation supports and controls global quota at mount table level.
+For performance reasons, the Router caches the quota usage and updates it periodically. These quota usage values
+will be used for quota-verification during each WRITE RPC call invoked in RouterRPCSever. See [HDFS Quotas Guide](./HdfsQuotaAdminGuide.html)

 The option mode is UNIX-style permissions for the mount table. Permissions are specified in octal, e.g. 0755. By default, this is set to 0755.
 
+Router-based federation supports global quota at mount table level. Mount table entries may spread multiple subclusters and the global quota will be
+accounted across these subclusters.
+
+The federation admin tool supports setting quotas for specified mount table entries:
+
+    [hdfs]$ $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hdfs dfsrouteradmin -setQuota /path -nsQuota 100 -ssQuota 1024
+
+The above command means that we allow the path to have a maximum of 100 file/directories and use at most 1024 bytes storage space. The parameter for *ssQuota*
+supports multiple size-unit suffix (e.g. 1k is 1KB, 5m is 5MB). If no suffix is specified then bytes is assumed.
