Panabit Case: Bandwidth Optimization in Education
Client Challenge
A vocational education center in Chongqing operated on a constrained 500Mbps bandwidth allocated by the municipal education network. During peak hours, frequent network outages disrupted operations—initially misdiagnosed as "internal cyberattacks." The root cause: overwhelming bandwidth saturation. While the existing firewall ensured basic security, it lacked granular traffic control capabilities. This led to severe congestion, particularly in computer labs and classrooms, hindering teaching and administrative workflows.
Our Solution
We deployed Panabit as a strategic traffic management layer between the client’s firewall and core switch:
Computer Lab Control:Students were restricted to pre-approved websites/applications (teachers had full access).Instructors could dynamically whitelist additional resources for lesson-specific needs.
Intelligent Traffic Prioritization:Two dynamic policy groups were created:Flexible Mode(<300Mbps): Balanced bandwidth allocation for general use.Strict Mode(>300Mbps): Prioritized critical teaching/administration apps.Real-time bandwidth monitoring ensured stability and prevented non-essential services from throttling essential tools.
Key Outcomes
Eliminated Downtime: No recurrence of "outage" incidents caused by bandwidth exhaustion.
Maximized Efficiency: 500Mbps bandwidth fully utilized for teaching, research, and administrative needs.
Enhanced Stability: Predictable network performance for hybrid learning environments.
Future-Ready: Seamlessly integrated with Panabit’s advanced modules (e.g., identity-based authentication, threat intelligence logging).
Why Panabit?
Granular Control: Tailor policies to diverse user groups (students, faculty, guests).
Scalability: Modular design supports future upgrades (e.g., SD-WAN integration, AI-driven analytics).
Global Compliance: Aligns with international standards for K-12 network security.
