Quota Manager

SoftPerfect Bandwidth Manager supports dynamic rule configuration based on quotas. When you create a rule you can assign a previously defined quota instead of a fixed transfer rate. For example, you can permit users to upload or download a specified data amount within the specified period at one speed but decrease their speed if they exceeded the limit.

To define a quota, click the New button. In the new window please specify the following parameters:

Quota Name - Enter a descriptive name for the quota.
Initial Rate - Specify an initial transfer rate. This speed applies if a rule does not exceed the limit (zero means unlimited).
Reduced Rate - Specify a reduced transfer rate. This speed applies if a rule exceeds the limit.
Transferred more than - Specify a data amount in megabytes after that the transfer rate goes down.
Period - Specify a period that the quota uses.

Please note:

Within a week means within a period according to the ISO 8601 standard. That is, the week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday.

The bandwidth manager service updates rules according to the existing quotas once a minute.
