Xirrus Application Control
The Application Control feature is available on APs to provide real-time visibility
of application usage by users across the wireless network. Network usage has
changed enormously in the last few years, with the increase in smart phone and
tablet usage stressing networks.
The AP uses Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to determine what applications are
being used and by whom, and how much bandwidth they are consuming. These
applications are rated by their degree of risk and productiveness. The results are
presented to you both graphically and in tables. Filters can be used to implement
per-application policies that keep network usage focused on productive uses,
eliminating risky and non-business-oriented applications such as BitTorrent. You
can increase the priority of mission-critical applications like VoIP and WebEx. See
“Application Control Windows” on page 150 for more information.
