BACP-statistics

The Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol (BACP) permits multiple channels of a PPP connection to be established, cleared and bundled as required. Channel bundling is useful in cases in which the available transfer rate is not sufficient. The LANCOM measures the data throughput in order to dynamically raise or lower the bandwidth during as required during data communications. If the data throughput exceeds a certain threshold for a given period and PPP channel bundling has been configured, a further channel will be requested from the remote station via BACP, established and bundled with the existing channel(s). The additional channels are closed via BACP after the data throughput has dropped below the threshold for an extended period.
