Common use of Bandwidth Management Clause in Contracts

Bandwidth Management. The SES logical connection can be configured as an uncontended connection where the SES and its associated InterConnect are served off the same active PoH. The NBI active PoH is a non-blocking device and therefore the Service Provider may capacity manage the InterConnect to ensure that it is not overbooked, i.e. that the sum of the SES bandwidths do not exceed the Bandwidth on the InterConnect. In this scenario Class of Service (CoS) is not required on the SES as the connection is uncontended and is not carried across the NBI core network Conversely, the Service Provider may capacity manage the InterConnect which may result in the InterConnect being overbooked, i.e. that the sum of the SES bandwidths exceeds bandwidth on the InterConnect. In this scenario CoS may be required on the SES and the required level of circuit-based class of service should be specified by the Service Provider.
