Chapter 1 Configuring Application Acceleration
Managing Application Acceleration
• HTTP Adaptor—Accelerate using the HTTP Accelerator.
• MAPI Adaptor—Accelerate using the MAPI Accelerator.
• NFS Adaptor—Accelerate using the NFS Accelerator.
• Video Adaptor—Accelerate using the Video Accelerator.
• ICA Adaptor—Accelerate using the ICA Accelerator.
Note For a WAAS Express device, the available accelerators are CIFS Express and HTTP Express.
Step 8 Specify the application that you want to be associated with this policy by doing either of the following:
• From the Application drop-down list, choose an existing application like the one that you created in
the “Creating an Application Definition” section on page 1-50. This list displays all predefined and
new applications on your WAAS system.
• Click New Application to create an application. You can specify the application name and enable
statistics collection. After specifying the application details, click OK to save the new application
and return to the Optimization Policy window. The new application is automatically assigned to this
device or device group.
Step 9 (Optional) Choose a value from the DSCP Marking drop-down list. You can choose copy, which copies
the DSCP value from the incoming packet and uses it for the outgoing packet. If you choose
inherit-from-name from the drop-down list, the DSCP value defined at the application or global level is
used.
DSCP is a field in an IP packet that enables different levels of service to be assigned to network traffic.
Levels of service are assigned by marking each packet on the network with a DSCP code and associating
a corresponding level of service. DSCP is the combination of IP Precedence and Type of Service (ToS)
fields. For more information, see RFC 2474.
DSCP marking does not apply to pass-through traffic.
Note For a WAAS Express device, the DSCP Marking drop-down list is not shown.
For the DSCP marking value, you can choose to use the global default values (see the “Defining Default
DSCP Marking Values” section on page 1-58) or select one of the other defined values. You can choose
copy, which copies the DSCP value from the incoming packet and uses it for the outgoing packet.
Step 10 Click OK.
The new policy appears in the Optimization Policies window. (See Figure 1-31 on page 1-51.)
