DESCRIPTION
Type how much outbound bandwidth, in kilobits per second, this policy
allows the traffic to use. Outbound refers to the traffic the NXC sends out
from a connection's initiator.
If you enter 0 here, this policy does not apply bandwidth management
for the matching traffic that the NXC sends out from the initiator. Traffic
with bandwidth management disabled (inbound and outbound are both
set to 0) is automatically treated as the lowest priority (7).
If the sum of the bandwidths for routes using the same next hop is
higher than the actual transmission speed, lower priority traffic may not
be sent if higher priority traffic uses all of the actual bandwidth.
This field displays when the inbound or outbound bandwidth
management is not set to 0. Enter a number between 1 and 7 to set the
priority for traffic that matches this policy. The smaller the number, the
higher the priority.
Traffic with a higher priority is given bandwidth before traffic with a
lower priority.
The NXC uses a fairness-based (round-robin) scheduler to divide
bandwidth between traffic flows with the same priority.
The number in this field is ignored if the incoming and outgoing limits
are both set to 0. In this case the traffic is automatically treated as being
set to the lowest priority (7) regardless of this field's configuration.
This field displays when the inbound or outbound bandwidth
management is not set to 0. Enable maximize bandwidth usage to let
the traffic matching this policy "borrow" any unused bandwidth on the
out-going interface.
After each application or type of traffic gets its configured bandwidth
rate, the NXC uses the fairness- based scheduler to divide any unused
bandwidth on the out-going interface amongst applications and traffic
types that need more bandwidth and have maximize bandwidth usage
enabled.
This field controls what kind of record the NXC creates when traffic
matches this policy.
no - the NXC does not record anything
log - the NXC creates a record in the log
log alert - the NXC creates an alert
