Being able to simply adjust the “data speed rates” of the outlets on the ONT, this can also mean that the ethernet outlets on the ONT are switched off or data rate limited.
Accepting that there can be up to 128 users and perhaps between 32 and 64 telephones also connected in an office environment.
This represents a high usage scenario for the network.
The network can now be “shaped” to provide more data for this port or for that port on the ONT.
In a “PONLAN home” the ports on the ONT will all be active and the traffic is not shaped, eg FULL THROTTLE!
Advanced Traffic Shaping applications can be used to delay the flow of certain types of packets.
This ensures a better network performance for higher priority applications.
Traffic Shaping limits the amount of bandwidth that can be used by some applications.
This is used to ensure a high quality of service for business-related network traffic.
The giving of maximum bandwidth to a business-critical application such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP), as it is sensitive to latency.
Route-based Traffic Shaping can also be implemented.
This applies to packet regulation policies based on the source and intended destination.
Limited network resources make bandwidth prioritisation a necessity.
Traffic Shaping is the one of the most important techniques to ensure a high Quality of Service for business applications and data.
These rules can be implemented as essential requirements for your
NETWORK FIREWALL.
