About Bandwidth Control

The TANDBERG VCS allows you to control the use of bandwidth by endpoints on your network. This is done by grouping endpoints into subzones, and then applying limits to the bandwidth that can be used:

•within each subzone

•between a subzone and another subzone

•between a subzone and a zone.

Bandwidth limits may be set on a call-by-call basis and/or on a total concurrent usage basis. This flexibility allows you to set appropriate bandwidth controls on individual components of your network.

This section describes the different types of subzones and how to add and configure them, and explains how to use Links and Pipes to apply bandwidth controls between subzones and zones.

Overview

Example Network Deployment

The diagram below shows a typical network deployment:

•a broadband LAN, where high bandwidth calls are acceptable

•a pipe to the internet with restricted bandwidth

•two satellite offices, Branch and Home, each with their own restricted pipes.

In this example you should create a new subzone for each pool of endpoints, so that you can apply suitable limitations to the bandwidth used within and between each subzone.
