Tutorial 4: Managing Traffic
These sections cover controlling the traffic going through the USG.
4.1 How to Configure Bandwidth Management
Bandwidth management is very useful when applications are competing for limited bandwidth.
Connection and Packet Directions
Bandwidth management looks at the connection’s direction from the interface it was initiated on to
the interface it goes out. The connection initiator sends outbound traffic and receives inbound traffic.
The USG controls each flow’s bandwidth as it goes out through an interface or VPN tunnel. For
example, a LAN1 to WAN connection is initiated from LAN1 and goes to the WAN.
