Bandwidth Management Classes

A “bandwidth management class” defines a bandwidth limit that virtual servers can apply to data sent to clients. For example, if several large download connections were assigned a shared limit bandwidth class of 250Kbits, these connections could not consume more than this limit.

You can apply a bandwidth management class to a virtual server by clicking the Classes link on the appropriate Virtual Servers > Edit page. In the Bandwidth Management section, select a class from the list and click Update. This will have the effect of limiting all the traffic the virtual server manages to the defined value in the class, according to the limit sharing type specified (per-connection, per-machine, or cluster-wide).

Bandwidth Management is covered in detail in Bandwidth Management.
