21.5 Application and Subnet-based Bandwidth Management
You could also create bandwidth classes based on a combination of a subnet and an
application. The following example table shows bandwidth allocations for application specific
traffic from separate LAN subnets.
21.5.1 Bandwidth Management Priorities
Traffic with a higher priority gets through faster while traffic with a lower priority is dropped
if the network is congested. The following table describes the priorities that you can apply to
traffic that the ZyXEL Device forwards out through an interface.
21.6 Configuring Bandwidth Management (General)
Click Advanced > Bandwidth MGMT to open the screen as shown next.

PRIORITY DESCRIPTION
High Typically used for voice traffic or video that is especially sensitive to jitter (variations in
delay).
Mid Typically used for “excellent effort” or better than best effort and would include important
business traffic that can tolerate some delay.
Low This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk transfers that are
allowed but that should not affect other applications and users.
