5.1 How to Configure Bandwidth Management
Bandwidth management is very useful when applications are competing for limited bandwidth.
Connection and Packet Directions
Bandwidth management looks at the connection’s direction from the interface it was initiated on to
the interface it goes out. The connection initiator sends outbound traffic and receives inbound
traffic. The ZyWALL controls each flow’s bandwidth as it goes out through an interface or VPN
tunnel. For example, a LAN1 to WAN connection is initiated from LAN1 and goes to the WAN.

LAN1
to WAN Connection and Packet Directions
• Outbound traffic goes from a LAN1 device to the WAN. The ZyWALL applies bandwidth
management before sending the packets out a WAN interface.
• Inbound traffic comes back from the WAN to the LAN1 device. The ZyWALL applies bandwidth
management before sending the traffic out a LAN1 interface.
You can set outbound and inbound guaranteed and maximum bandwidths for an application.
