17.7.3 Bandwidth Management Priorities

The following table describes the priorities that you can apply to traffic that the NBG-460N forwards out through an interface.

Table 82 Bandwidth Management Priorities

PRIORITY LEVELS: TRAFFIC WITH A HIGHER PRIORITY GETS THROUGH FASTER WHILE TRAFFIC WITH A LOWER PRIORITY IS DROPPED IF THE NETWORK IS CONGESTED.

High

Mid

Low

Typically used for voice traffic or video that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter is the variations in delay).

Typically used for “excellent effort” or better than best effort and would include important business traffic that can tolerate some delay.

This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk transfers that are allowed but that should not affect other applications and users.

See Appendix E on page 369 for commonly used services and port numbers.
