Bandwidth Profile

Bandwidth limiting determines the way in which the data is sent to and from your

 

host. The purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a solution for limiting the

 

outgoing and incoming traffic, thus preventing the LAN users from consuming all the

 

bandwidth of the Internet link. Bandwidth limiting occurs in the following ways:

 

• For outbound traffic: on the available WAN interface in the single WAN port mode

 

and auto-rollover mode, and on the selected interface in load balancing mode.

 

• For inbound traffic: on the LAN interface for all WAN modes.

 

Note: Bandwidth Limiting does not apply to the DMZ interface.

Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP might periodically check for servers and might suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, see the Acceptable Use Policy of your ISP.
