Example Configuring User/Application Fairness
Bandwidth Management can be applied to prevent heavy bandwidth bursters from locking out other
users, such as the following:
• Customers using broadband access (such as DSL) blocking dial-up customers.
• Customers using the same hosting facility locking out each other because of a flash crowd.
• FTP locking out Telnet.
• Rate limits of particular applications.
In this example, BWM is configured to prevent broadband customers from affecting dial-up
customer access. This is accomplished by setting higher bandwidth policy rate limits for the port that
processes broadband traffic.
• Policy 1 is for dial-up customers with lower bandwidth allocation needs.
