Statistics Bandwidth Manager Configuration

INQUE is an IP based Bandwidth Management Platform, with a simple but powerful and user friendly interface for Monitoring, Management, Configuration and Administration.

INQUE Features

	Traffic Monitoring
INQUE has a very powerful traffic Monitoring system. The Administrator can use this option to capture the IP traffic passing through INQUE, and view it in either the Simple Graphs Format or Advanced Collapsible List Format. Sample data can be filtered before and after capturing, by following parameters: Source IP Address / Source Network Address Source Port / Service Destination IP Address / Destination Network Address Destination Port / Service The Sample can be analyzed using different filters and parameters, and in different formats. The Sample can be saved for future analysis and reference. The Sample can be exported to a text delimited format for advanced analysis.

	Configuration
INQUE has two Configuration Modes. Simple Configuration Mode: In the Simple Configuration Mode CIR (Committed Information Rate) can be configured for IP Addresses by selecting IP Addresses from the Traffic Monitoring Reports. The allowed bandwidth can be further split between different Internet Services / Ports. No burst able bandwidth / MIR (Maximum Information Rate) can be defined. Advanced (Multi Level) Configuration Mode: The Advanced Configuration Mode provide with the following features: · Multi Level Configuration of Classes, up to 10 levels deep. · Every Class can have different CIR / MIR at different times. The timers can be configured by: Month Day of Week Hour Minute Second Option of sharing of excess bandwidth between Classes on the same level, and under the same Parent Class. Option of prioritizing traffic based on Filters. Option of several Filters attached to any Class. Filters can be based on Source IP Address / Source Network Address Source Port / Service Destination IP Address / Destination Network Address Destination Port / Service

	INQUE Monitoring / Reporting

INQUE provides monitoring based on 10 seconds average of the Bandwidth Utilized, Total Packets Sent, Total Bytes Sent, Over Limit Packets, Pending Packets, Dropped Packets, Lended Packets (Bandwidth that other classes took while sharing the un-utilized bandwidth of this class) and Borrowed Packets (bandwidth that this class took from others classes while sharing their un-utilized bandwidth) for each class. The INQUE also provides historical graphs, plotting bandwidth used by each class, with a minimum average of five minutes. The graphs show trends for Daily. Weekly, Monthly and Yearly Bandwidth Utilization.

	Security
INQUE has four levels of security based on users logged in using standard HTTP based authentication. Each users can has one of the following security levels, and each level included privileges of previous levels. 1. Traffic Monitoring 2. Bandwidth Manager Policy Monitoring 3. Simple Configuration 4. Advanced (Multi Level) Configuration, INQUE Network Configuration, User Administration.

	Interface
Management Interface : INQUE has a Web Based Management Console. It works on standard HTTP Port 80, but a different port can be defined for Security reasons. Initial Configuration: For first time installation, a serial console is available, which allows the Network Configuration of INQUE. Once INQUE is accessible by other hosts in the network, then its Web Based Console is to be used for further configuration. More Interfaces: INQUE has one Fast Ethernet 100Mbps Interface built in. Four additional interfaces can be installed. The options currently available are: LAN Interfaces: Ethernet 10 Mbps Ethernet 100 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Mbps FDDI Token ring WAN Interfaces: Sync Serial V.35 (PPP, Cisco HDLC) Frame Relay Latency: INQUE add a maximum of 2 ms latency in the IP packet's paths, if the packet is not delayed because of CIR / MIR restrictions.
