Chapter 16 Bandwidth Management
16.3 What You Need To Know
You can limit an application’s uplink or downlink bandwidth. This limit keeps the traffic from using up too much of the
•The sum of the bandwidth allotments that apply to the WAN interface (LAN to WAN, WLAN to WAN) must be less than or equal to the Uplink value that you configure in the Bandwidth Management General screen.
•The sum of the bandwidth allotments that apply to the LAN port (WAN to LAN, WAN to WLAN) must be less than or equal to the Downlink value that you configure in the Bandwidth Management General screen.
16.4General Configuration
Use this screen to enable bandwidth management and assign uplink/downlink limits. You can use either one of the following types:
•Priority Queue. Enable bandwidth management to give uplink traffic that matches a bandwidth rule priority over traffic that does not match a bandwidth rule. (This type does not apply to downlink traffic.)
•Bandwidth Allocation. Enabling bandwidth management also allows you to control the maximum or minimum amounts of bandwidth that can be used by traffic that matches a bandwidth rule.
Note: You cannot apply both bandwidth management types at the same time.
