Example Configuring an IP User-Level Rate Limiting Contract
This example is for university that wants to restrict the amount of TCP traffic for individual students
and for the student body as a whole. Contract 1 is configured as follows:
• Each student (IP address) is limited to 64 kbps.
• All members of the student body are limited to maximum (hard limit) of 10 Mbps.
• If the number of octets sent out exceeds the value of the entire contract (10 Mbps), excess
octets are dropped.
• If the number of octets is below the value of the contract (10 Mbps), a session is created on
Alteon that records the student's IP address, the egress port number, and the contract number,
as well as the number of octets transferred for that second. The session updates the number of
octets being transferred every second, thus maintaining traffic within the configured user limit of
64 kbps.
1. Select the first bandwidth policy.
Each policy must have a number from 1 to 512.
2. Configure the BWM policy with a hard limit of 10 Mbps and a "user limit" of 64 kbps. Apply that
policy to Contract 1.
3. Configure a filter to match the source IP address range of the student body, and assign BWM
Contract 1 to that filter.
