Chapter 16 Media Bandwidth Management Advanced Setup
P-660W-Tx v2 User’s Guide
161
When you enable maximize bandwidth usage, the ZyXEL Device first makes sure that each
bandwidth class gets up to its bandwidth allotment. Next, the ZyXEL Device divides up an
interface’s available bandwidth (bandwidth that is unbudgeted or unused by the classes)
depending on how many bandwidth classes require more bandwidth and on their priority
levels. When only one class requires more bandwidth, the ZyXEL Device gives extra
bandwidth to that class.
When multiple classes require more bandwidth, the ZyXEL Device gives the highest priority
classes the available bandwidth first (as much as they require, if there is enough available
bandwidth), and then to lower priority classes if there is still bandwidth available. The ZyXEL
Device distributes the available bandwidth equally among classes with the same priority level.
Reserving Bandwidth for Non-Bandwidth Class Traffic
Do the following three steps to configure the ZyXEL Device to allow bandwidth for traffic
that is not defined in a bandwidth filter.
1
Leave some of the interface’s bandwidth unbudgeted.
2
Do not enable the interface’s
Maximize Bandwidth Usage
option.
3
Do not enable bandwidth borrowing on the child-classes that have the root class as their
parent (see
Maximize Bandwidth Usage With Bandwidth Borrowing
If you configure both maximize bandwidth usage (on the interface) and bandwidth borrowing
(on individual child-classes), the ZyXEL Device functions as follows.
1
The ZyXEL Device sends traffic according to each bandwidth class’s bandwidth budget.
2
The ZyXEL Device assigns a parent class’s unused bandwidth to its child-classes that
have more traffic than their budgets and have bandwidth borrowing enabled. The
ZyXEL Device gives priority to bandwidth child-classes of higher priority and treats
bandwidth classes of the same priority equally.
3
The ZyXEL Device assigns any remaining unused or unbudgeted bandwidth on the
interface to any bandwidth class that requires it. The ZyXEL Device gives priority to
bandwidth classes of higher priority and treats bandwidth classes of the same level
equally.
4
The ZyXEL Device assigns any remaining unbudgeted bandwidth to traffic that does not
match any of the bandwidth classes.
