10.2.7. Guaranteeing Instead of Limiting Bandwidth

If desired, IDP Traffic Shaping can be used to do the opposite of limiting bandwidth for certain
applications.
If the administrator wants to guarantee a bandwidth level, say 10 Megabits, for an application then
an IDP rule can be set up to trigger for that application with the Pipe action specifying the
bandwidth required. The traffic shaping pipes that are then automatically created get the highest
priority by default and are therefore guaranteed that bandwidth.

10.2.8. Logging

IDP Traffic Shaping generates log messages on the following events:
• When an IDP rule with the Pipe option has triggered and either host or client is present in the
Network range.
• When the subsystem adds a host that will have future connections blocked.
• When a timer for piping news connections expires, a log message is generated indicating that
new connections to or from the host are no longer piped.
There are also some other log messages which indicate less common conditions. All log messages
are documented in the Log Reference Guide.
