Application Monitoring and Enforcement
Overview
Application Monitoring and Enforcement (AppMon) feature is provided to address the key challenges of
real time classification of flows at application level. It provides differential QoS treatment in the form of
higher priority marking and security policies at application level. AppMon feature improves the quality of
user experience through application aware network optimization and control.
The following are the key components for AppMon:
• Application Signature Kit File - the file containing application signatures.
• Application Pool - pool of supported applications.
• Application List - list of applications supported for monitoring or enforcement. Applications can be
added to this list using the application name or application group.
• Application Group - a group of applications. The group can be added to the application list.
• QoS policy: QoS policy configuration at application level or application group level.
