System bandwidth management provides you with automated bandwidth management features. You provide bandwidth allocation guidelines and the system automatically manages the virtual pipe for you by monitoring traffic rates on the line. When traffic increases, bandwidth management may automatically allocate additional bandwidth; when traffic decreases, it may automatically decrease the bandwidth. Changes to bandwidth and line characteristics take effect immediately. The system also uses a phone number list that you define to automatically obtain additional bandwidth. If bandwidth requirements consume more than one path, the system picks additional paths to form the virtual pipe and meet the requirements.
