15.3 What You Need To Know

You can limit an application's uplink or downlink bandwidth. This limit keeps the traffic from using
up too much of the out-going interface's bandwidth. This way you can make sure there is bandwidth
for other applications. Use the following guidelines:
• The sum of the bandwidth allotments that apply to the WAN interface (LAN to WAN, WLAN to
WAN) must be less than or equal to the Uplink value that you configure in the Bandwidth
Management General screen.
• The sum of the bandwidth allotments that apply to the LAN port (WAN to LAN, WAN to WLAN)
must be less than or equal to the Downlink value that you configure in the Bandwidth
Management General screen.

15.4 General Configuration

Use this screen to enable bandwidth management and assign uplink/downlink limits. You can use
either one of the following types:
• Priority Queue. Enable bandwidth management to give uplink traffic that matches a bandwidth
rule priority over traffic that does not match a bandwidth rule. (This type does not apply to
downlink traffic.)
• Bandwidth Allocation. Enabling bandwidth management also allows you to control the
maximum or minimum amounts of bandwidth that can be used by traffic that matches a
bandwidth rule.
Note: You cannot apply both bandwidth management types at the same time.
