Bandwidth allocation tools
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.

Bandwidth optimization
Bandwidth optimization is the practice of reducing and managing network data usage for digital signage to ensure reliable playback and timely updates. It uses compression, caching, differential updates, scheduled transfers, and adaptive streaming to minimize peak traffic, lower costs, and maintain smooth content delivery across distributed displays and limited network connections.
