Example 1: One site with one class of user

Example 1 shows the simplest case: a single policy that specifies the normal call rate for all users in all sites within a network managed by IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager.

For the simplest scenario, assume there is only one call rate policy for the enterprise network. It specifies the normal call rate for all users in all sites. Administrators use it to restrict bandwidth use uniformly across all calls.

For this example, assume administrators want to:
  • limit calls to 384 kbps
  • prevent additional calls when a the peak utilization bandwidth condition is reached

The required policy for the Example 1 scenario is shown in Table 1.
