Bandwidth Profile Bandwidth limiting determines the way in which the data is sent to and from your host.
The purpose of bandwidth limiting is to provide a solution for limiting the outgoing and
incoming traffic, thus preventing the LAN users from consuming all the bandwidth of the
Internet link. For more information, see Create Bandwidth Profiles on page 139. For
inbound traffic, you can configure bandwidth limiting only on the LAN interface for a LAN
WAN rule.
Bandwidth limiting does not apply to the DMZ interface.
