Per Host QoS for Adaptive Response

EXAMPLE

Restrict users in the Active Directory 'Students' group to 100 kbps, once the user has downloaded 100 MB per day.

  1. Create the Network Object Students based on the Active Directory Students group as shown in the previous topic.
  2. Using the Web UI - Advanced Mode, go to Configuration > Objects > Adaptive Response.
  3. Create a new Adaptive Response rule based on the Students Network Object. Each host is allowed to download 100 MB per day before being placed into the Students_Shaped Network Object.

Create Adaptive Response Object

  1. Create a Dynamic Virtual Circuit, with Network Object set to "Students_Shaped". Hosts matching this Network Object will fall into this Dynamic Virtual Circuit.
  2. Each host is limited to a maximum bandwidth of 100 kbps. With Per Host Bandwidth set to Automatically Share, a maximum of 400 hosts can fall into this Dynamic Virtual Circuit.

Students Dynamic Virtual Circuit

  1. Additional hosts will share bandwidth allocated in the Students Overflow Virtual Circuit.

Students Overflow Virtual Circuit

Virtual Circuit To Share Remaining Bandwidth

  1. Other users and students who have not used their 100MB daily quota will share 45 Mbps of bandwidth in the WANWide Area Network Virtual Circuit.
