Traffic shaping

With InfiNet Wireless QM manager you can share the total bandwidth of an interface between several subscribers. You can do this in three ways: absolute, relative, mix. In absolute traffic shaping each subscriber is given a channel with maximum information rate (MIR) set. For example, if you have a 18 Mbps total bandwidth, you can provide 4 your clients with 2, 4, 4 and 8 Mbps channels.

In relative traffic shaping all subscribers are competing for the total bandwidth respective to their predefined speed limits. And if one channel is active the whole bandwidth will be used.

For example, if the only channel active is the 1^st one, than it will take the whole throughput. Than if both 1^st and 2^nd channels are active they will divide the throughput like shown: 1^st channel will get 1/3, 2^nd channel will get 2/3. If all channels are active the situation will be the following:

1^st channel – 11% of the whole throughput

2^nd channel – 22% of the whole throughput

3^rd channel – 22% of the whole throughput

4^th channel – 44% of the whole throughput

Mix traffic shaping combines absolute and relative traffic shaping. So some subscribers can be granted with absolute limitation and other will compete for the rest of the bandwidth.
