5.4  Bandwidth Management for your Network
This section shows you how to configure the bandwidth management feature on 
the NBG-460N to limit the bandwidth for specific kinds of outgoing traffic. ZyXEL's 
bandwidth management feature allows you to specify bandwidth management 
rules based on an application or subnet. 
Use the Management > Bandwidth MGMT > Advanced screen to configure 
bandwidth management for your network.
5.4.1  Configuring Bandwidth Management by Application
For this example, your company’s customer support department wants to 
prioritize VoIP, e-mail and MSN Messenger services. 
In the Priority Queue table, VoIP and e-mail services are already pre-defined. 
However, you still need to add MSN Messenger in the list (refer to 
). 
In the following screen, you set the priorities for VoIP and e-mail.
Figure 63   Tutorial: Priority Queue
Click Enable for the VoIP (SIP) service and set priority to High. Do the same for 
E-mail. For the rest of the applications, click Enable if you need these services 
and set the priority to Low
Note: You can also leave the Enable field blank for the rest of the applications. In 
doing so, the NBG-460N does not apply bandwidth management to these 
services.
