When BAM is enabled in the AP Configuration page, bandwidth management is
expanded to apply uniquely specified sustained data rate and burst allocation values to
each registered SM. Thus, you can define differently priced tiers of subscriber service.
Designing Tiered Subscriber Service Levels
Examples of levels of service that vary by bandwidth capability are provided in Table 55
and Table 56.
NOTE:
The speeds that these tables correlate to service levels are comparative
examples. Actual download times may be greater due to use of the bandwidth by
other SMs, congestion on the local network, congestion on the Internet, capacity
of the serving computer, or other network limitations.
