How to Limit BitTorrent or Other Peer-to-Peer Traffic
This is an example of using ZyWALL/USG Bandwidth Management (BWM) to
control the bandwidth allocation for peer-to-peer traffic. You can use source
interface, destination interface, destination port, schedule, user, source,
destination information, DSCP code and service type as criteria to create a
sequence of specific conditions to allocate bandwidth for the matching packets.
When the BWM is configured, you can limit bandwidth consuming Application
traffic, such as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) service.
ZyWALL/USG with Bandwidth Management for Peer-to-Peer Traffic Example
Note: All network IP addresses and subnet masks are used as examples in this article.
Please replace them with your actual network IP addresses and subnet masks. The total
available bandwidth assumption is 1,600 kbps. This example was tested using USG310
(Firmware Version: ZLD 4.25).
