Bandwidth Management Methods
Bandwidth Management feature can be implemented in two separate ways:
• Per Policy Method
–
The bandwidth limit specified in a policy is applied individually to each policy
–
Example: two policies each have an independent limit of 500kb/s, the total possible
bandwidth between those two rules is 1000kb/s
• Per Action Aggregate Method
–
The bandwidth limit action is applied (shared) across all policies to which it is applied
–
Example: two policies share a BWM limit of 500kb/s, limiting the total bandwidth
between the two policies to 500kb/s
Bandwidth Aggregation Method is selected in the Action Object Settings screen when the
Action type is set as Bandwidth Management. and the Bandwidth Management Type is set
to WAN on the Firewall Settings > BWM page. For more information about the Bandwidth
Management Type settings, see the “Actions Using Bandwidth Management” section on
page 621.
