Incoming service: Game (UDP: 1234)
Trigger service: Game-1 (UDP: 5670-5678)
1 Computer A wants to play a multiplayer online game and tries to connect to game server
1 using port 1234. The ZyWALL records the IP address of computer A when the packets
match a policy with SNAT configured.
2 Game server 1 responds using a port number ranging between 5670 - 5678. The
ZyWALL allows and forwards the traffic to computer A.
3 Computer A and game server 1 are connected to each other until the connection is closed
or times out. Any other computers (such as B or C) cannot connect to remote server 1
using the same port triggering rule as computer A unless they are using a different next
hop (gateway, outgoing interface, VPN tunnel or trunk) from computer A or until the
connection is closed or times out.

Maximize Bandwidth Usage
The maximize bandwidth usage option allows the ZyWALL to divide up any available
bandwidth on the interface (including unallocated bandwidth and any allocated bandwidth that
a policy route is not using) among the policy routes that require more bandwidth.
When you enable maximize bandwidth usage, the ZyWALL first makes sure that each policy
route gets up to its bandwidth allotment. Next, the ZyWALL divides up an interface's
available bandwidth (bandwidth that is unbudgeted or unused by the policy routes) depending
on how many policy routes require more bandwidth and on their priority levels. When only
one policy route requires more bandwidth, the ZyWALL gives the extra bandwidth to that
policy route.
When multiple policy routes require more bandwidth, the ZyWALL gives the highest priority
policy routes the available bandwidth first (as much as they require, if there is enough
available bandwidth), and then to lower priority policy routes if there is still bandwidth
available. The ZyWALL distributes the available bandwidth equally among policy routes with
the same priority level.
