Overview

All bandwidth tracking is maintained through the switch that the bandwidth is used through. All bandwidth is stored in a "pod" repository. An interface links the hardware switch with the pod repository identification number. This is only relevant to bandwidth data. It is not common to use this.

Warning! Even though our API is object based, XML-RPC can only return data as array values. The SOAP implementation treats data as object properties.
