Bandwidth on Demand
The Bandwidth on Demand (BOD) feature allows you to bundle both B
channels in one connection. The second channel is added and
subtracted dynamically according to traffic demand. The router uses the
Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP) and the Multilink Protocol
(MP) to implement bandwidth on demand.
The configuration of bandwidth on demand focuses on the Base
Transmission Rate (BTR) and the Maximum Transmission Rate (MTR).
The relationship between BTR and MTR are shown below:
BTR & MTR Setting
BTR = 64, MTR = 64
BTR = 64, MTR = 128
BTR = 128, MTR = 128
When bandwidth on demand is enabled, a second channel will be
brought up if traffic on the initial channel is higher than the high Target
48

Configuration chapter starting on page 87. The default is blank, i.e.,
no filters defined.
Session Option: Idle Timeout (sec)—This value specifies the
number of idle seconds that elapses before the Remote Node is
automatically disconnected. Idle seconds is the period of time
where no data is passed between the Remote Node and your IRT-
1001 or IRT-1002. Administrative packets such as RIP are not
counted as data. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
