CHAPTER 26
Bandwidth Management
26.1 Overview
This chapter contains information about configuring bandwidth management and editing rules.
ZyXEL’s Bandwidth Management allows you to specify bandwidth management rules based on an
application.
In the figure below, uplink traffic goes from the LAN device (A) to the WAN device (B). Bandwidth
management is applied before sending the packets out to the WAN. Downlink traffic comes back
from the WAN device (B) to the LAN device (A). Bandwidth management is applied before sending
the traffic out to LAN.
Figure 123 Bandwidth Management Example
You can allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity (bandwidth budgets) to individual
applications (like VoIP, Web, FTP, and E-mail for example).
26.2 What You Can Do
•Use the General screen to enable bandwidth management and assign bandwidth values (Section
26.4 on page 196).
•Use the Advanced screen to configure bandwidth managements rule for the pre-defined services
and applications (Section 26.5 on page 196).
•Use the Monitor screen to view the amount of network bandwidth that applications running in
the network are using (Section 26.6 on page 201).
