Table 118 Bandwidth Management Priorities
PRIORITY LEVELS: TRAFFIC WITH A HIGHER PRIORITY GETS THROUGH FASTER WHILE
TRAFFIC WITH A LOWER PRIORITY IS DROPPED IF THE NETWORK IS CONGESTED.
High Typically used for voice traffic or video that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter
is the variations in delay).
Mid Typically used for “excellent effort” or better than best effort and would include
important business traffic that can tolerate some delay.
Low This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk
transfers that are allowed but that should not affect other applications and
users.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Interface These read-only labels represent the physical interfaces. Select an interface’s check
box to enable bandwidth management on that interface. Bandwidth management
applies to all traffic flowing out of the router through the interface, regardless of the
traffic’s source.
Traffic redirect or IP alias may cause LAN-to-LAN traffic to pass through the ZyXEL
Device and be managed by bandwidth management.
Active Select an interface’s check box to enable bandwidth management on that interface.
