Bandwidth Management
This chapter describes the bandwidth feature and shows you how to configure bandwidth
control.
16.1 Bandwidth Management Overview
Bandwidth management allows you to control the amount of outbound and inbound traffic on
the LAN. This helps reduce delays and dropped packets due to busy network traffic. On the
VSG, outbound traffic refers to network traffic coming from a LAN port to the WAN port
whereas inbound traffic refers to network traffic coming from the WAN port to a LAN port.
16.1.1 Bandwidth Allocation
The VSG provides two types of bandwidth control based on a subscriber’s computer MAC
address: equal share or class-based.
With equal share bandwidth allocation, the VSG allocates an equal amount of outgoing and
incoming bandwidth for each subscriber on the LAN.
With class-based bandwidth allocation, you can set up bandwidth classes in the billing profiles
on the VSG or on a RADIUS server.
13.1.2 Activating Bandwidth Management
To activate bandwidth management, click
Advanced Setting
,
Bandwidth
and select the
Bandwidth Management
check box.
