Hierarchical bandwidth classes can be
defined to shape the bandwidth for the computers or network segments
on the LAN when they are uploading data from the specific computers
on the internal network with different ports and protocols. The modules
for bandwidth control are downloaded automatically from the server
of BBIagent.Net and loaded into the router when the first class is
defined and inserted.
The first class to be defined should be the total upstream bandwidth of the
link to your ISP so that its bandwidth can be divided by other classes
you defined later. After defining the classes, you can apply
them with Upstream Filter.

Hierarchical classes can be defined for bandwidth management |
To add a class, enter values in the fields and click
Insert button. The class will be inserted before the class
selected in the list. If there is no class selected, it will be appended
at the end. If the class is enabled and valid, it will be applied
to the router immediately.
Class can be deleted only if there is no subclass and it is not linked
with bandwidth filter.
Following are the fields in a class. |
| Field |
Description |
Class Name
|
Name of the class.It
should be unique in the list.The name will be appeared in Filter
panel to be selected for bandwidth filtering if there is no
other class associated with this one. |
| Parent Class |
Parent class from which
the bandwidth to be divided If this is the first class, parent
class is itself or blank. |
| Rate |
Bandwidth allocated to
this class from parent class. Its format is N/M, where N is
the assured bandwidth and M the maximum bandwidth allowed to
borrow the unused bandwidth from other classes with same parent
class. The unit can be Kbit or Mbit. i.e. Kbit per second or
Mbit per second (1Mbit = 1024Kbit). You can use K or M for Kbit
or Mbit. If no unit is given, it's Kbit. You may use Kbps to
specify Kbytes per second (1Kbps = 8Kbit).
If this one is the first class, the value should be the downstream
bandwidth of the external link to your ISP. |
| Burst |
The amount of data in
byte that can be sent for this class at maximum speed when it
is being serviced. e.g. 10Kb. It is optional since the value
can be calculated internally depending on the rate of the class. |
| Priority |
Class priority. The higher
the number, the lower the priority. Classes with higher priority
are offered excess bandwidth first when they request for unused
bandwidth under same parent class. |
