Prevent users from entering higher values than expected

Biz case: Allow users to configure policies to ensure critical application traffic is not dropped when a link is at max capacity.

Use case: Traffic from head office to branch 1 is at max capacity. Admin needs to ensure business traffic has priority over social media.

  • The link capacity from Head Office to Branch 1 is 100mbps.
  • Zoom requires 20mbps to ensure meetings can continue uninterrupted.
  • When branch 1 is not using zoom, prioritised bandwidth is available to any.
  • When multiple branches are present available bandwidth (accepted at head office) needs to be shared between branches as needed, eg if B1 is busy it can use some of B2s bandwidth.

Users should be encouraged to keep policy priority values to the minimum required. After discussion with testers it seems the sliders indicate to users that 100% of bandwidth need to be assigned. Should sliders and chart be removed to avoid confusion?
