Related Questions
What if I want to deny a program or software application instead of only limiting it?
The Firebox® X Edge allows you to limit data sent through Traffic Control filters. A policy can allow or
deny all data of a specified type. Traffic Control does not allow or deny data, but creates filters that
separate important network traffic from other data. To deny or allow traffic from specific software
applications, you must configure a policy. For more information on policies, see About adding and
configuring proxy policies.
Can I apply Traffic Control marking to IPSec traffic?
No, IPSec traffic does not use QoS marking.
