Bandwidth policies define limitations on bandwidth usage for real-time audio and video modalities. Bandwidth policies are applied to bandwidth policy profiles, which can be applied to multiple network sites for call admission control.

For guidelines about what bandwidth limits you should set in your CAC deployment, see “Planning for Call Admission Control” in the Planning documentation.

For more information about working with bandwidth policies and policy profiles, see the Communications Server Management Shell documentation for the following cmdlets:

• New-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile
  
  
• Get-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile
  
  
• Set-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile
  
  
• Remove-CsNetworkBandwidthPolicyProfile
  
  

The example policies created in the following procedure set limits for overall audio traffic, individual audio sessions, overall video traffic, and individual video sessions. For example, the 5Mb_Link bandwidth policy profile sets the following limits:

• Audio Limit: 2,000 kbps
  
  
• Audio Session Limit: 200 kbps
  
  
• Video Limit: 1,400 kbps
  
  
• Video Session Limit: 700 kbps
