Reserving Line Resources
114064 Rev. B 6-7
Setting the Estimated Bandwidth
To activate resource reservation, enter the portion of this line’s bandwidth to make
available for ST2 requests for guaranteed service.
Enter an estimated total bandwidth for this line, from 0 to 214748364 b/s. To
enable line resource management, enter a value greater than 0.
For point-to-point lines, you can usually enter the total line speed.
For an Ethernet line, you must estimate a value, because shared-media lines may
not have all of the bandwidth available. Base the estimate on line statistics, the
number of connected workstations, or other site-specific information.
You can set the Estimated Bandwidth for this interface.
Setting the Reservable Bandwidth
To enable ST2 reservable resources, specify the portion of this line’s bandwidth to
make available for ST2 requests for guaranteed service. The value can be any
value from 0 to 214748364 b/s, and must be less than the value of the Estimated
Bandwidth parameter.
You can set the Reservable Bandwidth for this interface.
Specifying the Traffic Queuing Algorithm
By default, the Resource Manager uses best-effort scheduling for all reserved
traffic. The resource reservation protocol (ST2) controls admission of flows to the
network, but does not explicitly schedule each flow’s packets.

Caution: Never make all available bandwidth reservable. Leave at least 15
percent of bandwidth available for network management, routing protocols,
and other best-effort traffic.
