Bandwidth and traffic management

Bandwidth planning protects performance and avoids billing surprises.

What to do

  1. Confirm committed bandwidth and burst needs.
  2. Monitor utilization before peak periods.
  3. Request upgrades before sustained congestion.
  4. Report packet loss with timestamps and traceroutes.

Important notes

  • Traffic abuse or DDoS events may trigger mitigation.
