3 Select OK.
Maximum
Bandwidth
Select to limit bandwidth in order to keep less important services from using
bandwidth needed for more important ones.
Traffic Priority Select High, Medium, or Low. Select Traffic Priority so the FortiGate unit
manages the relative priorities of different types of traffic. For example, a policy
for connecting to a secure web server needed to support ecommerce traffic
should be assigned a high traffic priority. Less important services should be
assigned a low priority. The firewall provides bandwidth to low-priority
connections only when bandwidth is not needed for high-priority connections.
Be sure to enable traffic shaping on all firewall policies. If you do not apply any
traffic shaping rule to a policy, the policy is set to high priority by default.
Distribute firewall policies over all three priority queues.
