Table 131 Configuration > Bandwidth Management

 

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

BWM

These fields show the amount of bandwidth the traffic can use.

 

 

In - This is how much inbound bandwidth, in kilobits per second, this

 

 

policy allows the matching traffic to use. Inbound refers to the traffic the

 

 

ZyWALL sends to a connection’s initiator. If no displays here, this policy

 

 

does not apply bandwidth management for the inbound traffic.

 

 

Out - This is how much outgoing bandwidth, in kilobits per second, this

 

 

policy allows the matching traffic to use. Outbound refers to the traffic

 

 

the ZyWALL sends out from a connection’s initiator. If no displays here,

 

 

this policy does not apply bandwidth management for the outbound

 

 

traffic.

 

 

Pri - This is the priority for the traffic that matches this policy. The

 

 

smaller the number, the higher the priority. Traffic with a higher priority

 

 

is given bandwidth before traffic with a lower priority. The ZyWALL

 

 

ignores this number if the incoming and outgoing limits are both set to

 

 

0. In this case the traffic is automatically treated as being set to the

 

 

lowest priority (7) regardless of this field’s configuration.
