Security > User Roles > BW Contracts
You can manage bandwidth utilization by assigning maximum bandwidth rates, or bandwidth contracts, to
user roles. You can configure bandwidth contracts, in kilobits per second (Kbps) or megabits per second
(Mbps), for the following types of traffic:
z from the client to the controller (“upstream” traffic)
z from the controller to the client (“downstream” traffic)
You can assign different bandwidth contracts to upstream and downstream traffic for the same user role.
You can also assign a bandwidth contract for only upstream or only downstream traffic for a user role; if
there is no bandwidth contract specified for a traffic direction, unlimited bandwidth is allowed.
By default, all users that belong to the same role share a configured bandwidth rate for upstream or
downstream traffic. You can optionally apply a bandwidth contract on a per-user basis; each user who
belongs to the role is allowed the configured bandwidth rate. For example, if clients are connected to the
controller through a DSL line, you may want to restrict the upstream bandwidth rate allowed for each user
to 128 Kbps. Or, you can limit the total downstream bandwidth used by all users in the ‘guest’ role in Mbps.
The
Details page for Security > User Roles > Add New Bandwidth Contract page contains the following fields,
