Bandwidth Management Methods

The Bandwidth Management feature can be implemented in two separate ways:

Bandwidth Management: Implementation methods

• 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.
