LANconfig
Data rate restrictions for Ethernet, DSL and DSLoL interfaces are entered in
LANconfig under configuration field 'Interfaces' on index card 'WAN' within
the settings for the different WAN interfaces:
D An Ethernet WAN (DSL/cable) interface can be switched off completely in
this dialogue.
D As upstream and downstream rate the gross data rates are entered,
which are usually a little bit higher than the net data rates indicated by the
provider as the guaranteed data rate (see also ’The queue concept’
→ page 315).
D The “external overhead” considers information added to the packets dur-
ing the data transfer. Concerning applications with small data packets
(e.g. Voice over IP), this extra overhead is quite noticeable. Examples for
the external overhead:
WEBconfig, Telnet
Under WEBconfig or Telnet the restrictions of data transfer rates for Ether-
net, DSL and DSLoL interfaces are entered at the following places:
Note: Only upstream and downstream rates are indicated by Kbps, external
overhead in bytes/packet.
