iDBM (Intelligent Bandwidth Management)

iDBM (Intelligent Bandwidth Management) is a patent-pending technology innovated by AXIM Communications (AXIMCom). It efficiently resolves bandwidth congestion and network instability issues caused by the widely used P2P software (e.g. BitTorrent, BitComet, eMule, Foxy, etc.), and achieves optimal bandwidth utilization at the same time.

iDBM provides two unique and powerful mechanisms to manage bandwidth: Dynamic Bandwidth Management (DBM) and Static Bandwidth Management (SBM).

DBM (Dynamic Bandwidth Management)
DBM automatically and consistently monitors bandwidth usage, prioritizes traffic, and allocates bandwidth to all users and applications. Real-time applications such as VoIP, online gaming, and video conferencing, are granted a higher priority for bandwidth usage. On the other hand, applications such as P2P and FTP are given a lower priority. However, when P2P software is the only application running on the network, DBM is able to provide an efficient allocation and ensure that no bandwidth is wasted by being able to recognize that it is the only application running. Once real-time applications join the network, these applications will then immediately have a higher priority to use bandwidth than P2P software. Therefore, users can play online games, stream network videos, listen to network radio, chat with friends, send e-mails, and run P2P applications, all at the same time with no disturbances!

SBM (Static Bandwidth Management)
While DBM Technology intelligently manages your bandwidth, SBM gives you the freedom to customize your bandwidth allocation to meet your special requirements. By reserving a fixed amount of bandwidth for a specific network device or a particular application, SBM satisfies bandwidth management needs for complicated network environments.

Stable, Smooth and Efficient Bandwidth Sharing
As iDBM adjusts bandwidth allocation automatically on-the-fly according to the applications running in the network, it is able to help users make optimal use of the bandwidth subscribed. In short, AXIMCom's iDBM Technology is able to provide users with a stable, smooth, and efficient network environment regardless of the circumstance or usage scenario.

AXIMCom iDBM Technology:

Bandwidth limitation by IP address

Bandwidth limitation by protocol/port

Real-time traffic/applications obtain the highest priority to use bandwidth

Stable and smooth network under heavy traffic




No Bandwidth Management Mechanisms:
P2P software hijacks the entire bandwidth
No resources are left for other applications

Basic Static Bandwidth Management:
Restricts bandwidth allocated to P2P Software to user's demands
When/If P2P software is the only application running,
a large percentage of the bandwidth becomes unused and wasted
