Bandwidth Management Module

The Bandwidth Management module allows administrators to have full control over their available bandwidth. Using the Bandwidth Management module Radware devices can classify traffic that passes through them according to predefined criteria and can enforce a set of actions on that traffic.

Bandwidth Management enables you to differentiate or classify user traffic according to a wide array of criteria and then apply the user-defined action to each classified packet or session — either block traffic or shape traffic. For example, Bandwidth Management allows you to give HTTP traffic a higher priority over SMTP traffic, which, in turn, may have higher priority over FTP traffic. At the same time, the device can track the actual bandwidth used by each application and set limits as to how much each classified traffic pattern can utilize (see Bandwidth Management).
