Performance Management
Performance management consists of controlling the traffic through the STM so that the necessary

rescheduling some traffic to low-peak times to prevent bottlenecks from occurring in the first
place.
You can adjust the following features of the STM in such a way that the traffic load on the WAN
side decreases
