bandwidth filter. You can configure up to one bandwidth filter per bandwidth class. You can also configure bandwidth classes without bandwidth filters. However, it is recommended that you configure child-classes with filters for any classes that you configure without filters. The Prestige leaves the bandwidth budget allocated and unused for a class that does not have a filter itself or child-classes with filters. View your configured bandwidth classes and child- classes in the Class Setup screen (see Section 16.10 on page 190 for details).

The total of the configured bandwidth budgets for child-classes cannot exceed the configured bandwidth budget speed of the parent class.

16.3 Proportional Bandwidth Allocation

Bandwidth management allows you to define how much bandwidth each class gets; however, the actual bandwidth allotted to each class decreases or increases in proportion to actual available bandwidth.

16.4 Bandwidth Management Usage Examples

These examples show bandwidth management allotments on a WAN interface that is configured for 640Kbps.

16.4.1 Application-based Bandwidth Management Example

The bandwidth classes in the following example are based solely on application. Each bandwidth class (VoIP, Web, FTP, E-mail and Video) is allotted 128kbps.
