Bandwidth Management with Saisei™

BillMax is integrated with Saisei™’s Traffic Manager (STM) product. With this integration, the following Saisei objects can be managed in real time from within BillMax:

• Rate Plans
• Users
• Hosts
• Access Points

Rate Plan objects hold the policy parameters (rate limits and other settings). User identify the subscriber. A Saisei User maps to a BillMax User and identifies a subscriber as well as a physical address. Hosts represent the devices that have their bandwidth “shaped” and are identified by IP address. These devices are typically Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). Each Host has an associated Access Point. Access Points are identified so overall bandwidth at the Access Point can be managed as necessary when its resources are exceeded. A general understanding of BillMax provisioning is required to complete the implementation.
