Bandwidth Management
17.1  Overview 
This chapter contains information about configuring bandwidth management and 
editing rules.
ZyXEL’s Bandwidth Management allows you to specify bandwidth management 
rules based on an application. 
In the figure below, uplink traffic goes from the LAN device (A) to the WAN device 
(B). Bandwidth management is applied before sending the packets out to the 
WAN. Downlink traffic comes back from the WAN device (B)  to the LAN device 
(A). Bandwidth management is applied before sending the traffic out to LAN.
