Configuring Bandwidth Profiles

Bandwidth Profiles enhance the device's monitoring of bandwidth utilization. A Bandwidth
Profile defines bandwidth utilization thresholds for audio and/or video traffic (incoming and
outgoing). Bandwidth Profiles can be assigned to IP Groups (see ''Configuring IP Groups''
on page 283), Media Realms (see ''Configuring Media Realms'' on page 269), and Remote
Media Subnets (see ''Configuring Remote Media Subnets'' on page 272).
Each time a configured bandwidth threshold is crossed, the device can do the following,
depending on configuration:

Determine access control and media enhancements based on bandwidth utilization.
Depending on the crossed threshold type, you can configure the device to accept or
reject calls, or use an alternative IP Profile for the IP Group to which the call belongs.
For more information, see ''Configuring Media Enhancement Profiles'' on page 265.

Alternative routing based on bandwidth utilization. If a call is rejected because of a
crossed threshold, the device generates a SIP 806 response. You can configure this
SIP response code as a reason for alternative routing (see ''Configuring SIP
Response Codes for Alternative Routing Reasons'' on page 546).

Send an SNMP alarm (acMediaRealmBWThresholdAlarm). The device clears the
alarm when bandwidth utilization returns to normal (within the thresholds).
The thresholds of Bandwidth Profiles use the same color-coding as the Quality of
Experience Profile:

Green-Yellow threshold: Lower threshold that indicates that the bandwidth exceeded
a user-defined percentage of the configured threshold. This is referred to as a
"Warning" alarm (i.e., warning you that bandwidth is nearing the threshold). When
bandwidth goes over the threshold, the device considers it as a Yellow state; when it
goes below the threshold, it considers it as a Green state.

Yellow-Red threshold: Indicates that bandwidth has exceeded the configured
threshold. When bandwidth goes over the threshold, the device considers it as a Red
state; when it goes below the threshold, it considers it as a Yellow state.
Hysteresis is also used to configure the threshold. This defines the amount of fluctuation
from a threshold in order for the threshold to be considered as crossed (i.e., change in
color state). Hysteresis is used to avoid false reports.
User's Manual
Defines the parameter threshold values between Yellow
(medium quality) and Red (poor quality) states.
The valid threshold values are as follows:

MOS values are in multiples of 10. For example, to denote
a MOS of 3.2, the value 32 (i.e., 3.2*10) must be entered.

Delay values are in msec.

Packet Loss values are in percentage (%).

Jitter is in msec.

Echo measures the Residual Echo Return Loss (RERL) in
dB.
Defines the fluctuation (change) from the value configured for
the Yellow-Red threshold. When the threshold is exceeded by
this hysteresis value, the device sends a report to the SEM
indicating this change.
Note: If the monitored parameter crosses two thresholds at
once (e.g., from Green to Red), the device ignores the
hysteresis value and reports the call state change to the SEM.
