The priority scheme defines how bandwidth is shared between tributaries. Each tributary always has
access to the bandwidth assigned from the original DBA calculation.
However any bandwidth not used is then shared according to the following scheme:
- Highest priority tributaries share the spare bandwidth between them using as much as is needed.
- If any spare bandwidth is available after this then the remainder is shared with a weighting between
high, medium and low priority tributaries
- Any spare bandwidth after this is assigned to lowest priority tributaries
Tributaries must only be configured in the same pool if they share a common aggregate path - otherwise
bandwidth management will be compromised.
An example:
0:10 is an IP tributary between node 0 and node 1
0:11 is an IP tributary between node 0 and node 2
0:10 & 0:11 are routed across a broadcast aggregate.
On Node0 you can configure 0:10 and 0:11 in the same DBA pool.
