Bandwidth Profile Bandwidth limiting determines the way in which 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. Bandwidth limiting occurs in the following ways:
For outbound traffic: on the available WAN interface in the single WAN port mode
and auto-rollover mode, and on the selected interface in load balancing mode.
For inbound traffic: on the LAN interface for all WAN modes.
Note: Bandwidth Limiting does not apply to the DMZ interface.
Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server
processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP might
periodically check for servers and might suspend your account if it discovers any
active services at your location. If you are unsure, see the Acceptable Use Policy of
your ISP.
