Confusion about dedicated port and dedicated bandwidth
I am bit confused here about dedicated port and dedicated bandwidth. When they say that they can provide 100 Mbit dedicated Port and shared bandwidth, do they share the bandwidth another client?. When they say dedicated BW, it only used by us?. Please help me on this.
Ok, I think I can answer this:
Dedicated port/dedicated bandwidth usually means you have a port on a router which is directly connected to the backbone. Only you can use that port and have access to the full bandwidth of the port speed.
Shared bandwidth usually means you are connected to a switch and share the uplinks to the first router. An example is you could have a 100mb port on a 6509 switch which all connections share the 1000mb uplinks.
