The Bandwidth Control Scheduling configuration allows you to set scheduling options for how general bandwidth control is handled.
Often traffic will match the conditions of more then one rule that you have created on the Rules screen of the Bandwidth Control tab. When this happens WinGate will have to decide what rule should be applied first. On the Scheduling screen you can set the method that WinGate will always use to choose which rule to implement.
In this option the first rule that the traffic matches will be implemented.
The rule with a restriction that provides the greatest amount of bandwidth to the matched traffic will be implemented first.
The rule with a restriction that provides the least amount of bandwidth will be given priority.
When you create rules, you need to specify a restriction that will be implemented on traffic that matches the condition of the rule. You can set a priority level on each restriction. Rules that have the restriction with the highest priority will be used first when this option is chosen.
This is the opposite of Preferring Maximum priority setting (as explained above). Rules that have restrictions with the least priority will be processed first.
The Allow WinGate to decide order option on the Rules screen of the Bandwidth Control tab is enabled by default so that WinGate can automatically decide which rule to implement when the traffic matches more then one rule. WinGate will use the Rule Selection Method that has been chosen in the Scheduling screen to choose the appropriate rule.
When the Allow WinGate to decide order option on the Rules screen is left unchecked, then WinGate will use the order of rules (from top to bottom) on the Rules screen to determine which rule is used. This order can be manually arranged using the available Up and Down buttons.
The Priority Levels pane allows you to configure the Maximum Packet Queue and the Priority Switch for restrictions that have been set at various different priority group levels.
The Maximum Packet Queue sets the maximum amount of packets that can be queued for restrictions that have been set with this particular priority.
The Priority Switch sets how many packets will be processed by restrictions that have this particular priority, before moving to, and processing packets from the next priority group. This setting helps to ensure that all priority groups receive a slice of the packet processing.
