Private Pools
Private bandwidth pools provide dedicated bandwidth for customers requiring
full-time access, as opposed to the “first come, first served” method used with
the bandwidth in the Public pool. If Private is selected, the Allow Public
Overflow Usage function can be enabled. If Allow Public Overflow Usage is
enabled, the percentage of overflow bandwidth allowed for the particular
account/customer (if any) can be entered. Should overflow occur, this amount
limits private pool customers’ usage up to the specified percent of the available
public pools.
To add a Private pool, click the button, which displays the Pools window.
Click the Add button to display the Pool Customer window.
Enter the Name and Account ID for the new pool (for billing purposes).
