Bandwidth
The RaQ 4 allows you to set an output bandwidth limit for each IP address that
you assign on a RaQ 4. The bandwidth limit applies to all of the name-based
virtual sites associated with an IP address.
The limit is specified in kilobits per second (Kb/s), and the RaQ 4 enforces a
minimum bandwidth limit of 10 Kb/s.
The bandwidth limit applies to all outgoing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
traffic on a particular IP address. This includes Web, FTP, POP and telnet traffic,
as well any other TCP-based application.
If multiple users are accessing a bandwidth-limited IP address, the system
divides the bandwidth evenly among the users.
If multiple named-based virtual sites belong to one IP address, the bandwidth
assigned to the IP address is divided evenly among the total number of users on
those name-based virtual sites.
This feature does not regulate input traffic.
You can apply a bandwidth limit to an IP address that did not previously have
one, modify an existing bandwidth limit or delete a bandwidth limit.
