3.3 Bandwidth Controls
Advanced > Advanced Network > Traffic Management > Bandwidth Profiles
Bandwidth profiles allow you to regulate the traffic flow from the LAN to WAN 1 or
WAN 2. This is useful to ensure that low priority LAN users (l ike guests or HTTP
service) do not monopolize the available WAN‘s bandwidth for cost -savings or
bandwidth-priority-allocation purposes.
Bandwidth profiles configuration consists of enabling the bandwidth control feature
from the GUI and adding a profile which defines the control pa rameters. The profile
can then be associated with a traffic selector, so that bandwidth profile can be applied
to the traffic matching the selectors. Selectors are elements like IP addresses or
services that would trigger the configured bandwidth regulation.

To create a new bandwidth profile, click Add in the List of Bandwidth Profiles. The
following configuration parameters are used to define a bandwidth profile:

Profile Name: This identifier is used to associate the configured profile to the
traffic selector

You can choose to limit the bandwidth either using priority or rate.

If using priority ―Low‖, ―High‖, ―Medium‖ can be selected. If there is a
low priority profile associated with traffic selector A and a high priority
profile associated with traffic selector B, then the WAN bandwidth
allocation preference will be to traffic selector B packets.
