Bandwidth Allocation Groups for Trunks
Updating Network Defaults On Line
4-8
To optimize a trunk's bandwidth use, up to three bandwidth allocation groups can
each be assigned a percentage of trunk bandwidth that will be dedicated to traffic if
necessary. Each IP and IPX network interface, SVC subscriber, and PVC is assigned
to a group.
If traffic in one group does not require the full allocation, unused bandwidth will be
available to other groups. Allocation is applied only when available bandwidth is
limited (i.e., packets must be queued before transmission).
Be sure you fully understand the needs of network users before
assigning bandwidth allocation groups; this feature can show
adverse effects if configured incorrectly.
After you modify any Network Defaults parameter, you must use this operation to
send the change to all the nodes in the network.
