DESCRIPTION

 

Maximum

Specify the maximum bandwidth (from 1 to 1048576) allowed for the

 

Bandwidth

route in kbps. If you enter 0 here, there is no bandwidth limitation for

 

 

the route.

 

 

If the sum of the bandwidths for routes using the same next hop is

 

 

higher than the actual transmission speed, lower priority traffic may not

 

 

be sent if higher priority traffic uses all of the actual bandwidth.

 

 

To reserve bandwidth for traffic that does not match any of the policy

 

 

routes, leave some of the interface’s bandwidth unbudgeted and do not

 

 

enable Maximize Bandwidth Usage.

 

 

 

 

Bandwidth

Enter a number between 1 and 7 to set the priority for traffic. The

 

Priority

smaller the number, the higher the priority. If you set the maximum

 

 

bandwidth to 0, the bandwidth priority will be changed to 0 after you

 

 

click OK. That means the route has the highest priority and will get all

 

 

the bandwidth it needs up to the maximum available.

 

 

A route with higher priority is given bandwidth before a route with lower

 

 

priority.

 

 

If you set routes to have the same priority, then bandwidth is divided

 

 

equally amongst those routes.

 

 

 

 

Maximize

Select this check box to have the ZyWALL divide up all of the interface’s

 

Bandwidth

unallocated and/or unused bandwidth among the policy routes that

 

Usage

require bandwidth. Do not select this if you want to reserve bandwidth

 

 

for traffic that does not match any of the policy routes.
