Working with Bandwidth Control Profiles
Bandwidth control limits the amount of
bidirectional traffic from a mobile device. A bandwidth control profile provides a
generic definition for the limit applied to certain wireless clients' traffic. A
bandwidth control profile is assigned on a per role basis. A bandwidth control profile
is not applied to multicast traffic.
A bandwidth control profile consists of the
following parameters:
- Profile Name — Name assigned to a
profile
- Committed Information Rate (CIR) —
Rate at which the network supports data transfer under normal operations. It is
measured in kilo bits per second (Kbps).
The bandwidth
control profiles you define on the Global
Settings screen are displayed as available choices in the Bandwidth Control Profiles list on the
Classes of Service
screen.
