Traffic Management
Enable Traffic Control
You must have at least one packet filter policy, proxy policy, or VPN tunnel enabled to add traffic filters. You
can use any enabled policy or active VPN tunnel as a Traffic Control filter. Incoming and outgoing policies are
identified by [Out] or [In] adjacent to the policy name.Traffic Control is used only for outgoing network traffic.
If you add an incoming policy to a Traffic Control category, the Firebox applies Traffic Control rules to outgoing
traffic managed by that policy on the same port. For example, if you have a DNS server in your network that
responds to requests from the external network, you can use Traffic Control to manage the amount of
bandwidth those responses use. This is because DNS requests and responses use the same network port.
