Chapter 32 Application Patrol

• The outbound traffic flows from the connection initiator to the connection

• The inbound traffic flows from the connection responder to the connection

For example, a LAN to WAN connection is initiated from LAN and goes to the WAN.

• Outbound traffic goes from a LAN zone device to a WAN zone device. Bandwidth

management is applied before sending the packets out a WAN zone interface on

• Inbound traffic comes back from the WAN zone device to the LAN zone device.

Bandwidth management is applied before sending the traffic out a LAN zone

Outbound and Inbound Bandwidth Limits

You can limit an application's outbound or inbound bandwidth. This limit keeps the

traffic from using up too much of the out-going interface's bandwidth. This way

you can make sure there is bandwidth for other applications. When you apply a

bandwidth limit to outbound or inbound traffic, each member of the out-going

zone can send up to the limit. Take a LAN to WAN policy for example.

• Outbound traffic is limited to 200 kbps. The connection initiator is on the LAN so

outbound means the traffic traveling from the LAN to the WAN. Each of the WAN

zone's two interfaces can send the limit of 200 kbps of traffic.

• Inbound traffic is limited to 500 kbs. The connection initiator is on the LAN so

inbound means the traffic traveling from the WAN to the LAN.
