Scenario 9 — Using ZyWALL to Control Popular P2P Applications (USG 50 only)
9.1 Application Scenario
Peer to Peer applications, with their massive numbers of concurrent sessions and fast traffic transmission speed, can consume much of a company’s limited
bandwidth. This will slow down other normal productive traffic speed and affect productivity, lowering company productivity profit. USG ZyWALL’s Application
Patrol function can examine passing traffic in real time, detect traffic service type, and take corresponding actions according to the configuration in App Patrol.
For example, to improve network productivity efficiency, network administrator can set App Patrol to block P2P traffic in office hours, and limit its speed with
bandwidth management out of office hours.
