The diagram below illustrates the components in a ScrewDrivers Print Server bandwidth control solution:

In the example, the WAN connection to Print Server A is configured to use a bandwidth control object but the connection to Print Server B is not.

Usage

A need for bandwidth control typically arises when an application server is geographically remote from a ScrewDrivers Print Server.  A WAN connection often transports much more than just print job data so network managers want to control the maximum bandwidth used for printing since print jobs tend to be data-intensive and 'bursty'.  A network manager may want to limit a ScrewDrivers Print Server to no more than 512 KB of a 1.544 MB T1 connection, for example.

...

In the example above, ScrewDrivers Print Server SH-2012R2-PS1 has been configured the to use bandwidth control with a maximum bandwidth rate of 512 KB per second.
