Traffic Shaping
The simplest way to obtain quality of service in a network, seen from a security as well as a functionality perspective, is to have the components in the network, not the applications, be responsible for network traffic control in
Traffic shaping works by measuring and queuing IP packets, in transit, with respect to a number of configurable parameters. Differentiated rate limits and traffic guarantees based on source, destination and protocol parameters can be created; much the same way firewall policies are implemented.
There are three different priorities when configuring the traffic shaping, Normal, High and Critical.
Limit works by limiting the inbound and outbound traffic to the specified speed. This is the maximum bandwidth that can be used by traffic using this policy. Note however that if you have other policies using limit; which in total is more then your total internet connection and have configured the traffic limits on the WAN interface this limit is sometimes lowered to allow traffic with higher priorities to have precedence.
By using Guarantee, you can traffic using a policy a minimum bandwidth, this will only work if the traffic limits for the WAN interface are configured correctly.
