How does Dybands Intelligent IP Traffic Management differ from traditional bandwidth management?
Traditional bandwidth management employs only basic methods — static rate limits, simple priorities, or traffic type — to manage the bandwidth usage of subscribers, as a group, or manage applications. These methods are ineffective for managing Internet access services, since traffic patterns are extremely bursty and vary widely according to individual usage patterns. Rate caps and simple priorities do not eliminate the extreme congestion or packet loss associated with packet floods — the result of multiple users downloading or uploading at the same time. Dyband automatically responds in real time to changing traffic conditions, anticipating congestion and adjusting rate and priority controls, so that no user is “starved” for bandwidth and all users receive consistent, reliable service. << More questions Isn't bandwidth going to be cheap? Why do I need to manage it? The demand for bandwidth is growing at an enormous rate. New applications that require huge amounts of bandwidth are be
