HTTP Header-Based Bandwidth Management
HTTP header-based BWM allows Web site managers to allocate bandwidth based on header
value. Thus, they can allocate bandwidth based on browser type, cookie value, and so forth.
Cookie-Based Bandwidth Management
Cookie-based BWM enables Web site managers to prevent network abuse by bandwidth-hog-
ging users. Using this feature, bandwidth can be allocated by type of user or other user-specific
information available in the cookie.
Cookie-based bandwidth management empowers service providers to create tiered services.
For example, Web site managers can classify users as first class, business class, and coach and
allocate a larger share of the bandwidth for preferred classes.
