Understanding Bandwidth Management

Process

This section describes the bandwidth management process on a FW.

Traffic Profile

This section describes the traffic profiles and their parameters. A traffic profile defines the availability of bandwidth resources. A FW applies a traffic profile to traffic that matches the traffic policy.

Traffic Policy

A traffic policy determines the traffic to which bandwidth management applies to and how to manage bandwidth resources.

Interface Bandwidth

This section describes interface bandwidth settings. You can set bandwidth for both upstream and downstream traffic on FW interfaces.
