Bandwidth Management; Chapter 21 Bandwidth Management; Overview; What You Can Do - ZyXEL Communications NBG6616 User Manual

21.1 Overview

This chapter contains information about configuring bandwidth management and editing rules.
ZyXEL's Bandwidth Management allows you to specify bandwidth management rules based on an
application.
In the figure below, uplink traffic goes from the LAN device (A) to the WAN device (B). Bandwidth
management is applied before sending the packets out to the WAN. Downlink traffic comes back
from the WAN device (B) to the LAN device (A). Bandwidth management is applied before sending
the traffic out to LAN.

You can allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity (bandwidth budgets) to individual
applications (like VoIP, Web, FTP, and E-mail for example).
