Understand Standard and Streaming data connections
The SwiftBroadband
network supports
two types of IP data
connections to the
Internet: Standard
data and Streaming
data. The figures on
this page show how
the bandwidth of up
to 432 kbps is used when set-up as Standard connection (left) and as
Standard and Streaming 128 kbps (right).
•With a Standard data connection all users that have signed on the
network share the bandwidth available. This type of connection is ideal
for TCP/IP traffic such as e-mail, file transfer, and Internet and intranet
access. Standard data services are charged by the volume of data
transferred.
•With a Streaming data connection you get a guaranteed, high-priority
connection, ensuring seamless transfer of data with guaranteed bit rate
and Quality of Service. This type of connection is ideal for time-critical
applications like live video over IP. Streaming classes are charged by the
time the service is being used (per minute charge).
The system administrator can set up various types of connections using
network user groups, profiles and traffic flow filters. For information how to
define these most appropriately see the AVIATOR 200/300/350 Installation
and maintenance manual.
Data sessions available for the current user are displayed under PROFILES
ON LAN or STREAMING PROFILES ON LAN at the bottom of the
Dashboard.
You must always close the Streaming connection manually
to finish the connection properly. You must click Stop
streaming in the web interface to close the streaming
connection. It is not enough to disconnect the equipment.
As long as the connection is active you are charged for the
service.
