Creating bandwidth templates

Bandwidth templates are used for defining the QoS limits for every session. The upload and download limitation is defined on the bandwidth template.

The bandwidth template is used in most cases with Mikrotik NAS routers although alternatively it can also be defined through the Vendor Attributes section on the Usage Profiles page. For all other NAS types, the QoS policies are enforced through the Vendor Attributes section only.

The bandwidth templates can also be created while creating the Usage Packages. To create a bandwidth template, click on Packages->Bandwidth and click on Create new

On the create new bandwidth template page, provide a Name for the bandwidth template which can then be used for referencing in the Usage Packages.
