Example 3: One site with two classes of users
Example 3 shows a scenario where different classes of users are assigned different call rates within a network managed by IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager.
The next scenario considers two different classes of users. In this scenario, traffic in all sites and between all sites is treated uniformly, but different classes of users are considered to enforce different call rates between these different users.
As a first example, assume administrators want to allow all calls involving VIPs (VIP to anyone) to run at 384 kbps but calls between standard users to be 16 kbps audio-only calls.
Order | User1 | Site1 | User2 | Site2 | Normal Call Rate | Peak Utilization Call Rate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | VIP | Any | Any | Any | Video call, 384 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
2 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Audio-only call, 16 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
In a second example, administrators want to allow all calls between VIPs to run at 384 kbps, but all other calls to be 16 kbps audio-only.
Order | User1 | Site1 | User2 | Site2 | Normal Call Rate | Peak Utilization Call Rate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | VIP | Any | VIP | Any | Video call, 384 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
2 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Audio-only call, 16 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
