Pipes
It is possible to control the amount of bandwidth used on calls
between specific subzones and zones. The limits can be applied
to the total concurrent bandwidth used at any one time, or to the
bandwidth used by any individual call.
To apply these limits, you create a pipe and configure it with the
required bandwidth limitations. Then when configuring links you
assign the pipe to one or more links. Calls using the link will
then have the pipe’s bandwidth limitations applied to them.
You can configure up to 1000 pipes.
See the
Applying pipes to links
section for more information.
