6.3 Definition of Custom Traffic Rules

Figure 6.12 Traffic rule — name, color and rule description

If the description is specified, the “bubble” symbol is displayed in the Name column next to the rule name. Place the mouse pointer over the bubble to view the rule description.

It is recommended to describe all created rules for better reference (automatic descrip- tions are provided for rules created by the wizard). This is helpful for later reference (at the first glance, it is clear what the rule is used for). WinRoute administrators will appreciate this when fine-tuning or trouble-shooting.

Note: Descriptions and colors do not affect rule functionality.
