How bandwidth allocation tools work
Common use cases
- Prioritizing latency-sensitive services like VoIP, video conferencing, and gaming.
- Enforcing fair-share bandwidth among tenants in multitenant environments or subscribers for ISPs.
- Throttling background updates and noncritical traffic to preserve capacity for business-critical apps.
- Ensuring SLA compliance and optimizing cloud application performance across WAN links.

AV over IP (audio visual over internet protocol)
AV over IP is the distribution of audio and video signals across standard IP networks using Ethernet, allowing scalable, flexible routing, switching and management of AV sources to displays without specialized cabling. It supports latency-sensitive streaming, centralized control, and integration with signage networks, enabling easier deployment and remote monitoring.

Backlight control
Backlight control is the management of a display's internal lighting to adjust brightness and power state according to schedules, ambient conditions or device policies. In digital signage it reduces energy use, prolongs screen life and enhances legibility for TV dashboards and workplace displays, often integrated with media players like Fugo.

Bandwidth monitoring
Bandwidth monitoring is the continuous measurement and analysis of network throughput, latency and utilisation across connections serving digital signage. It reveals content delivery bottlenecks, measures streaming stability on TV dashboards and provides data for operators to optimise schedules, content quality and network costs to sustain reliable playback.
