ACCESS GATEWAY
Introduction 11
Bridge Mode
This feature allows complete and unconditional access to devices. When Bridge Mode is
enabled, your NSE-powered product is effectively transparent to the network in which it is
located.
The NSE forwards any and all packets (except those addressed to the NSE network interface).
The packets are unmodified and can be forwarded in both directions. The Bridge Mode
function is a very useful feature when troubleshooting your entire network as it allows
administrators to effectively “remove” your product from the network without physically
disconnecting the unit.
Class-Based Queueing
The Nomadix Class-Based Queueing feature provides the ability to define multiple groups
(classes) of users. You can prioritized groups and guarantee minimum bandwidth on a per-
group basis.
Users are added to classes, and rules are applied across the entire class. Each class has three
configurable attributes:
Priority
Minimum Bandwidth
Maximum Bandwidth
Class-based queueing does not apply rules to individual users. You may use bandwidth limits
to restrict individual users, if desired.
Class-based queueing does not provide application-level (layer 7) throttling or class of service.
Rules are applied when there is contention for bandwidth (i.e. when link is saturated).
In NSE 8.5, Class Based Queueing and Weighted Fair Queueing are mutually
exclusive. Weighted Fair Queueing is enabled by default.
