276 Chapter 19 Bandwidth Management
The ZyXEL Device divides up the unallocated 2048 kbps among the classes that require more
bandwidth. If the administration department only uses 1024 kbps of the budgeted 2048 kbps,
the ZyXEL Device also divides the remaining 1024 kbps among the classes that require more
bandwidth. Therefore, the ZyXEL Device divides a total of 3072 kbps of unallocated and
unused bandwidth among the classes that require more bandwidth.
19.6.2.1 Priority-based Allotment of Unused and Unallocated Bandwidth
The following table shows the priorities of the bandwidth classes and the amount of bandwidth
that each class gets.
Suppose that all of the classes except for the administration class need more bandwidth.
• Each class gets up to its budgeted bandwidth. The administration class only uses 1024
kbps of its budgeted 2048 kbps.
• The sales and marketing are first to get extra bandwidth because they have the highest
priority (6). If they each require 1536 kbps or more of extra bandwidth, the ZyXEL
Device divides the total 3072 kbps total of unallocated and unused bandwidth equally
between the sales and marketing departments (1536 kbps extra to each for a total of 3584
kbps for each) because they both have the highest priority level.
• Research requires more bandwidth but only gets its budgeted 2048 kbps because all of the
unallocated and unused bandwidth goes to the higher priority sales and marketing classes.
19.6.2.2 Fairness-based Allotment of Unused and Unallocated Bandwidth
The following table shows the amount of bandwidth that each class gets.
Suppose that all of the classes except for the administration class need more bandwidth.
