19.7 Scheduler
The scheduler divides up an interface’s bandwidth among the bandwidth classes. The
ZyWALL has two types of scheduler: fairness-based and priority-based.
19.7.1 Priority-based Scheduler
With the priority-based scheduler, the ZyWALL forwards traffic from bandwidth classes
according to the priorities that you assign to the bandwidth classes. The larger a bandwidth
class’s priority number is, the higher the priority. Assign real-time applications (like those
using audio or video) a higher priority number to provide smoother operation.
19.7.2 Fairness-based Scheduler
The ZyWALL divides bandwidth equally among bandwidth classes when using the fairness-
based scheduler; thus preventing one bandwidth class from using all of the interface’s
bandwidth.
19.7.3 Maximize Bandwidth Usage
The maximize bandwidth usage option allows the ZyWALL to divide up any available
bandwidth on the interface (including unallocated bandwidth and any allocated bandwidth that
a class is not using) among the bandwidth classes that require more bandwidth.
When you enable maximize bandwidth usage, the ZyWALL first makes sure that each
bandwidth class gets up to its bandwidth allotment. Next, the ZyWALL divides up an
interface’s available bandwidth (bandwidth that is unbudgeted or unused by the classes)
depending on how many bandwidth classes require more bandwidth and on their priority
levels. When only one class requires more bandwidth, the ZyWALL gives extra bandwidth to
that class.
When multiple classes require more bandwidth, the ZyWALL gives the highest priority
classes the available bandwidth first (as much as they require, if there is enough available
bandwidth), and then to lower priority classes if there is still bandwidth available. The
ZyWALL distributes the available bandwidth equally among classes with the same priority
level.
19.7.4 Reserving Bandwidth for Non-Bandwidth Class Traffic
Do the following three steps to configure the ZyWALL to allow bandwidth for traffic that is
not defined in a bandwidth filter.
