Chapter 27 Application Patrol

 

Table 115 Application Policy Edit (continued)

 

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

Outbound

Type how much outbound bandwidth, in kilobits per second, this policy allows the

 

kbps

application to use. Outbound refers to the traffic the ZyWALL sends out from a

 

 

connection’s initiator.

 

 

If you enter 0 here, this policy does not apply bandwidth management for the

 

 

application’s traffic that the ZyWALL sends out from the initiator. Traffic with

 

 

bandwidth management disabled (inbound and outbound are both set to 0) is

 

 

automatically treated as the lowest priority (7).

 

 

If the sum of the bandwidths for routes using the same next hop is higher than the

 

 

actual transmission speed, lower priority traffic may not be sent if higher priority

 

 

traffic uses all of the actual bandwidth.

 

 

 

 

Priority

Enter a number between 1 and 7 to set the priority for this application’s traffic that

 

 

matches this policy. The smaller the number, the higher the priority.

 

 

The ZyWALL gives traffic of an application with higher priority bandwidth before

 

 

traffic of an application with lower priority.

 

 

The ZyWALL uses a fairness-based (round-robin) scheduler to divide bandwidth

 

 

between applications with the same priority.

 

 

The number in this field is ignored if the incoming and outgoing limits are both set to

 

 

0. In this case the traffic is automatically treated as being set to the lowest priority

 

 

(7) regardless of this field’s configuration.

 

 

 

 

Maximize

Enable maximize bandwidth usage to let the traffic matching this policy “borrow”

 

Bandwidth

any unused bandwidth on the out-going interface.

 

Usage

After each application gets its configured bandwidth rate, the ZyWALL uses the

 

 

fairness- based scheduler to divide any unused bandwidth on the out-going

 

 

interface amongst applications that need more bandwidth and have maximize

 

 

bandwidth usage enabled.

 

 

 

 

Log

Select whether to have the ZyWALL generate a log (log), log and alert (log alert)

 

 

or neither (no) when the application’s traffic matches this policy. See Chapter 46 on

 

 

page 625 for more on logs.

27.10 Other Protocol Screen

The Other Protocol screen controls the default policy for TCP and UDP traffic that the ZyWALL cannot identify. In other words, you can control what the ZyWALL does when it does not recognize the application. This screen also allows you to add, edit, and remove conditions to this default policy.
