Traffic Shaping

When Traffic Shaping is enabled and the correct maximum up and downstream bandwidth is specified it’s possible to control which policies have the highest priority when large amounts of data are moving through the DFL-700. For example, the policy for the web server might be given higher priority than the policies for most employees' computers.

You can use traffic shaping to guarantee the amount of bandwidth available through the firewall for a policy. Guarantee bandwidth to make sure that there is enough bandwidth available for a high-priority service. You can also use traffic shaping to limit the amount of bandwidth available through the firewall for a policy. Limit bandwidth to keep less important services from using bandwidth needed for more important services.

Note: If the limit is set too high, i.e. higher then your Internet connection, the traffic shaping will not work at all.
