Hi All,

I have setup three bandwidth rules with the following priorities.

HTTP 200/200
Audio 20/20
Video 20/20

I have put them in that search order. The trouble is that it also has a default bandwidth priority, set at 100/100.

It won't let me delete it or move it to the bottom of the list. I changed the bandwidth for that to 50/50 but i would like it gone if possible.

Also i have used the ISA Monitoring utility and found that the HTTP bandwidth is getting used but the Video and Audio won't go past 0.

Why are they not being used?

Thanks

the default bandwidth rule is "always" last in the ordered list, regardless of how it is seen in ISA management console. default bandwidth assure all communications without a bandwidth rule is allocated default scheduling via QoS. you cant get rid of it as there has to be a default value for connections.
There are bandwidth priorities They are configured via traffic direction. Priorties have an order in which they are processed Priorities are used with bandwidth rules. Rules have an ordered process. Rule 1 is processed first, then 2 and so on. If the conditions of rule 1 are not met by the connection then rule order 2 is processed. If no rule in the order is met the default is processed.

If you are not getting bandwidth rules appling, you probably don't have a rule and priority set that users, content, schedule, destination request, or protocol for audio video meet for bandwidth allocation. Therefore the default value is applied.

My HTTP rule is working but my Audio and Video rule are not. I set them up exactly the same as the HTTP rule. The default rule is also working which it is supposed to do but why won't the Audio and Video rules work?
