A minimum bandwidth guarantee is a network setting that ensures a device, user or service receives at least a specified amount of bandwidth.

It is commonly used in networks where several users share the same internet connection. The guarantee helps prevent one user or service from using all the available bandwidth.

Common Uses

• Managing bandwidth on ISP networks.
• Providing minimum speeds to customers.
• Prioritizing important applications.
• Managing traffic on shared Wi-Fi networks.
• Supporting quality of service (QoS).
