InBand Management
InBand management allows Application Policies and Distribution Lists to be
selected on a Network, Group, and Remote site-level basis and allows the
system operator to enable and disable mesh, return path, and forward path
(point-to-point) switching, or use policies/lists for selected remotes that differ
from the network policies/lists. Bandwidth Reservations which provide a mini-
mum guaranteed data rate (CIR) can also be established with this InBand
feature. Each Remote site in the network that will require dynamic control of
their carriers (nodes which are part of the switched network) must be InBanded.
Application Policies
From the Application Policies dialog that is accessible from the Network,
Group, and Site Properties windows, the policies under which switching will
occur in the Vipersat network can be defined. The policy settings that are
defined on a per network and/or per group basis are propagated down to all
remotes in the system. Each remote will inherit the policies from the network/
group to which it is associated, but the operator may choose to break the inher-
ited settings and configure each site independently. Locally created Site policies
apply only to that site.
Along with an application type setting, each policy can specify a priority setting
and min/max data rate settings for both transmit and receive.
