Figure 5-25 Application Policy dialog
Using this dialog, you can establish policy parameters for Type and Bitrate
(Maximum and Minimum).
Type
Enter the type of circuit here. Application Policy Type numbers have the
following convention:
1 — Scheduled Switching and VFS (Vipersat File Streamer)
2 — Voice
3 — Video
4-64 — Reserved for the System
65-253 — User Defined
254 — Uninterruptable Switch (used to ensure that additional applications
will not generate a switch, thus preventing video glitches)
Caution: Do not assign circuit types within the Vipersat reserved range as you
may cause conflicts if a future VMS release uses that circuit type as a
pre-assigned value.
Maximum Bitrate
The Maximum Bitrate affects all circuits of the selected type for the site. This
parameter is the rate that any single session of a policy type can not exceed.
Once this bit rate is reached, no additional automatic switch requests (ASRs)
will be accepted by the VMS.
Minimum Bitrate
The Minimum Bitrate affects all circuits of the selected type for the site. This
is an absolute minimum value that no selected-type transmission bit rate can be
less than.
An Enabled check box is provided for specifying whether or not this policy is
enabled.
Once an application policy is created, clicking on the OK button will display
the Policy tab with the new policy appearance, as shown in figure 5-26.
