Glossary
Bandwidth Management (BWM): Refers to any of a variety of algorithms or methods used to
shape traffic or police traffic. Shaping often refers to the management of outbound traffic, while
policing often refers to the management of inbound traffic (also known as admission control).
There are many different methods of bandwidth management, including various queuing and
discarding techniques, each with their own design strengths. SonicWALL employs a Token
Based Class Based Queuing method for inbound and outbound BWM, as well as a discard
mechanism for certain types of inbound traffic.
