15.1.5 Over Allotment of Bandwidth

You can set the bandwidth management speed for an interface higher than the interface's
actual transmission speed. Higher priority traffic gets to use up to its allocated bandwidth,
even if it takes up all of the interface's available bandwidth. This could stop lower priority
traffic from being sent. The following is an example.

Table 89 Over Allotment of Bandwidth Example

BANDWIDTH CLASSES, ALLOTMENTS
Actual outgoing bandwidth available on the interface: 1000 kbps
Root Class: 1500 kbps (same
as Speed setting)
If you use VoIP and NetMeeting at the same time, the device allocates up to 500 Kbps of
bandwidth to each of them before it allocates any bandwidth to FTP. As a result, FTP can only
use bandwidth when VoIP and NetMeeting do not use all of their allocated bandwidth.
Suppose you try to browse the web too. In this case, VoIP, NetMeeting and FTP all have
higher priority, so they get to use the bandwidth first. You can only browse the web when
VoIP, NetMeeting, and FTP do not use all 1000 Kbps of available bandwidth.

15.2 Bandwidth Management Configuration Screen

Use this screen to enable bandwidth management and set the maximum allowed bandwidth for
the WAN port. You can also set some basic settings for each rule. To open this screen, click
Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Configuration.
