What is dynamic bandwidth allocation?
Dynamic bandwidth allocation provides automated bandwidth management so that the traffic on a single broadband link is allocated to voice or data as needed. Because most users do not transmit high volumes of data at all times and because voice traffic is more sensitive to delays than data traffic, dynamic bandwidth allocation allows inbound and outbound phone calls to take priority over data traffic, assuring consistently high voice quality and providing you more value from a single T1 connection.
Dynamic bandwidth allocation is the ability for a device to drop and add channels as needed. True dynamic bandwidth would allow a terminal adapter to allocate a second channel if the load on the first one becomes too heavy. Using dynamic bandwidth allocation is also helpful in reducing the number of hours used monthly overall. We recommend this to our 128k dual channel users to minimize their usage.
