Chapter 19 Bandwidth Management

19.3 Proportional Bandwidth Allocation

Bandwidth management allows you to define how much bandwidth each class gets; however,

the actual bandwidth allotted to each class decreases or increases in proportion to actual

available bandwidth.

You can create bandwidth classes based on individual applications (like VoIP, Web, FTP, E-

mail and Video for example).

You can create bandwidth classes based on subnets.

The following figure shows LAN subnets. You could configure one bandwidth class for

subnet A and another for subnet B.

You could also create bandwidth classes based on a combination of a subnet and an

application. The following example table shows bandwidth allocations for application specific

traffic from separate LAN subnets.
