dwidth Profile Bandwidth limiting determines how the data is sent to and from
your host. The purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a
solution for limiting the outgoing and incoming traffic, thus
preventing the LAN users from consuming all the bandwidth of
the Internet link. For more information, see Create Bandwidth
Profiles on page 175. For inbound traffic, you can configure
bandwidth limiting only on the LAN interface for a LAN WAN rule.
Note: Bandwidth limiting does not apply
to the DMZ interface.
