Traffic shaping settings
Use these settings to specify maximum bandwidth, traffic optimization, and bandwidth allocation for internet-bound traffic.
- To view bandwidth usage, click Show bandwidth usage.
General settings
- Total available WAN bandwidth
- Sum of all WAN links’ maximum limits, in KBps.
- Optimize for real-time (VoIP)
- Give priority to real-time traffic such as VoIP. If disabled, priority will be applicable only for excess bandwidth, that is, bandwidth remaining after guaranteed bandwidth allocation.
- Enforce guaranteed bandwidth
- Handle all internet-bound traffic by the traffic-shaping policy applied to
it. If there is no policy applied to the traffic, it will be handled by the
default policy.
Enable this setting if you want to enforce bandwidth restriction on the traffic to which a traffic-shaping policy is not applied.
Disable this setting if you do not want to enforce a bandwidth restriction on traffic to which a traffic-shaping policy is not applied. (It will handle traffic only on which a traffic-shaping policy is applied.)
- Default policy
- Default policy to use for traffic that does not have a traffic-shaping
policy applied.
- Guarantee Minimum bandwidth available to the user.
- Limit Maximum bandwidth available to the user.
- Priority Set from 1 (highest) to 7 (lowest) depending on the traffic required to be shaped.
