Bandwidth on Demand
The Bandwidth on Demand (BOD) feature allows you to bundle both B channels in one connection. The second channel is added and subtracted dynamically according to traffic demand. The Prestige uses the Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP) and the Multilink Protocol (MP) to implement bandwidth on demand.
The configuration of bandwidth on demand focuses on the Base Transmission Rate (BTR) and the Maximum Transmission Rate (MTR). The relationship between BTR and MTR are shown below:
BTR & MTR Setting | No. of | Max No. of | Bandwidth |
| channel(s) used | channel(s) used | on demand |
BTR = 64, MTR = 64 | 1 | 1 | Off |
BTR = 64, MTR = 128 | 1 | 2 | On |
BTR = 128, MTR = 128 | 2 | 2 | Off |
When bandwidth on demand is enabled, a second channel will be brought up if traffic on the initial channel is higher than the high Target Utility number for longer than the specified Add Persist value. Similarly, the second channel will be dropped if the traffic level falls below the low Target Utility number for longer than the Subtract Persist value.
The Target Utility specifies the line utilization range at which you want the Prestige to add or subtract bandwidth. The range is 30 to
