Bandwidth Management
36.1 Bandwidth Management Overview
Bandwidth management provides a convenient way to manage the use of various services on the
network. It manages general protocols (for example, HTTP and FTP) and applies traffic prioritization to
enhance the performance of delay-sensitive applications like voice and video.
36.1.1 BWM Type
The Zyxel Device supports two types of bandwidth management: shared, per-user and per-source-ip.
The shared BWM type is selected by default in a bandwidth management rule. All users to which the rule
is applied need to share the bandwidth configured in the rule. If the BWM type is set to per-user in a rule,
every user that matches the rule can use up to the configured bandwidth by his/her own. Set the BWM
type set to per-source-ip in a rule,when you want to set the maximum bandwidth for traffic from an
individual source IP address.
36.2 Bandwidth Management Commands
The following table lists the bwm commands. You must use the configure terminal command to
enter the configuration mode before you can use these commands.
