–Maximize-Reliability: Used when data needs to travel to the destination over a reliable link and with little or no retransmission. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a ToS value of 2.

–Maximize-Throughput: Used when the volume of data transferred during an interval is important even if the latency over the link is high. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a ToS value of 4.

–Minimize-Delay: Used when the time required (latency) for the packet to reach the destination must be low. The IP packets for services with this priority are marked with a ToS value of 8.

•Log: Specifies whether the packets for this rule should be logged or not. If you select Always, the details for all packets that match this rule will be logged. If you select Never, logging will be disabled and no details logged.

For example, if an outbound rule for a schedule is selected as Block Always, then for every packet that tries to make an outbound connection for that service, a message with the packet’s source address and destination address, along with other information will be recorded in the log.

Note: Enabling the Log function may generate a significant number of log messages and is recommended that this be used for debugging purposes only.

•Action: You can move a rule up or down in priority or you can edit the rule by selecting the appropriate button.

Note: Since Rules are applied in the order listed (from top to bottom), the hierarchy of the rules may make a difference in how traffic is handled.

Additional actions that can be taken on the rules listed in the Outbound Services table are:

•Edit: Modify the configuration of the selected rule.

•Select All: Selects all the rules in the table.

•Delete: Deletes the selected policy or policies.

•Enable: Enables the selected rule or rules.
