3.17 USING THE BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION MODE
FEATURE
The HSIM-A6DP provides a feature that allows the user to create PVCs,
and configure each PVC to be guaranteed a set amount of bandwidth, up
to the amount of bandwidth that the APIM provides.
For example, an HSIM-A6DP with an APIM-22 installed provides
155 Mbps of bandwidth. The Bandwidth Allocation Mode feature could
allow the user to create 2 PVCs. The first PVC could be guaranteed
100 Mbps of the available bandwidth. The second PVC could be
guaranteed the remaining 55 Mbps of bandwidth. Up to 1020 PVCs may
be created using the Bandwidth Allocation feature. However, ensure that
the total amount of bandwidth provided by the APIM is NOT exceeded.
The following sections provide instructions on how to configure the
HSIM-A6DP using the Bandwidth Allocation Mode feature.
