D The option 'Action only for VPN route' limits the rule to those packets,
which are sent or received via VPN tunnel.
D The option 'Forced' defines a static reservation of bandwidth. Band-
width reserved in this way cannot be used for any other connections,
even while the preferred connection is inactive.
D The option 'Per connection' resp. 'Globally' specifies, whether the min-
imum bandwidth set here is valid for each single connection corre-
sponding to this rule (’per connection’), or, if this should be the upper
limit for the sum of all connections together (’globally’).
D Like for other Firewall rules, index cards 'Stations' and 'Services' deter-
mine for which stations in the LAN / WAN and for which protocols this rule
applies.
WEBconfig, Telnet
For configuration with WEBconfig or Telnet, the minimum resp. maximum
bandwidths are entered into a new Firewall rule at the following places:
A required minimum bandwidth is introduced by “%Q”. Here it is implicitly as-
sumed that the respective rule is an “Accept” action, and that the packets will
thus be transmitted.
A maximum bandwidth is simply defined by a limit rule, which discards by a
“Drop” action all packets, which exceed the defined bandwidth.
Examples:
D %Qcds32: Minimum bandwidth of 32 kbps for each connection
D %Lgds256 %d: Maximum bandwidth of 256 kbps for all connections (glo-
bally)
Note: Further information about defining Firewall rules can be found in chap-
ter ’Firewall’ → page 249.
9.7.3 Adjusting transfer rates for interfaces
Note: Devices with built-in ADSL/SDSL modem resp. with an ISDN adapter
make these settings independently for the respective interface. For a BAT
model with Ethernet and ISDN interface, these settings have to be made
solely for the Ethernet interface.
