Services

The services definition for a WAN link are determined in this section (see Figure 21 below). For conduit services, the user would define the fair shares allocated to a client site. By default, all sites are placed in the “Default” group with the fair shares divided evenly. Services for individual site WAN links are shown and may be edited here.

• Display desired Provisioning Group or all groups by using the pull-down menu Add individual services to a Provisioning Group by selecting the service name and choosing the desired Group
• Set the desired WAN Ingress and Egress minimum and maximum rates, and Group shares for the service by double-clicking the cell to change the rate or number of shares
• To set an unlimited maximum rate, enter “0” or “no limit” into the cell
• Click the Apply button to save the settings

Shares of Group

On this table, the shares are used in the same way as above, but in this case, it is a new pool of shares within each group used. These shares are used to divide up the bandwidth among the members of a group based on the ratio of the current service divided by the total number of shares for the group in which it is a member. The Minimum rate acts as a base bandwidth allocation for each service, and the amount of bandwidth available for fair allocation is based on the total permitted for the group minus the sum of the minimums for each service in the group.
