CHAPTER 24 Bandwidth 24.1 Overview You can set the N4100 to limit the amount of bandwidth each user can use. This prevents one user from consuming a disproportionately large amount of bandwidth and helps ensure that every user gets their fair share. If there is a lot of unused bandwidth, however, this feature is not necessary and slows down users who could use the extra bandwidth to upload or download large amounts of information more quickly. The N4100 separates bandwidth into upstream bandwidth and downstream bandwidth. Upstream bandwidth is used when users send information to the WAN, and downstream bandwidth is used when users receive information from the WAN. This distinction is helpful when you might want to set limits one way but not the other. For example, if your users download a lot of MP3 files, you might set a limit on downstream bandwidth but not set a limit on upstream bandwidth. In other situations, however, you might put the same limit on upstream and downstream bandwidth. 24.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter Use the Bandwidth screen (Section 24.2 on page 188) to configure the N4100 to limit the amount of upstream and downstream bandwidth each user can use.
