ZyXEL Communications NBG6503 Manuel D’Utilisation

NBG6503 User’s Guide

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.

Figure 94   Bandwidth Management Example

You can allocate specific amounts of bandwidth capacity (bandwidth budgets) to individual 
applications (like VoIP, Web, FTP, and E-mail for example).

• Use  the  General screen (

) to enable bandwidth management and 

assign bandwidth values.

• Use  the  Advanced screen (

) to configure bandwidth managements rule 

for the pre-defined services and applications.

• Use  the  Monitor screen (

) to view the amount of network bandwidth 

that applications running in the network are using.
