Chapter 21 Bandwidth Management
ATC assigns priority based on packet size, since time-sensitive applications such as Internet
telephony (Voice over IP or VoIP) tend to have smaller packet sizes than non-time sensitive
applications such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The following table shows some common
applications, their time sensitivity, and their typical data packet sizes. Note that the figures
given are merely examples - sizes may differ according to application and circumstances.
Table 130 Typical Packet Sizes
APPLICATION
Voice over IP (SIP)
Online Gaming
Web browsing (http)
FTP
When ATC is activated, the device sends traffic with smaller packets before traffic with larger
packets if the network is congested.
ATC assigns priority to packets as shown in the following table.

21.4 Subnet-based Bandwidth Management
You can create bandwidth classes based on subnets.
The following figure shows LAN subnets. You could configure one bandwidth class for subnet
A and another for subnet B.
