group ACL rules).
„ Application Filters – This option allows you to configure Command Filters for FTP, HTTP, RPC and
SMTP applications. Configure filters here before attaching them to policies.

Description
Enter the Minimum size of IP fragments to be allowed through Firewall. This
limit will not be enforced on the last fragment of the packet. If the Internet
traffic is such that it generates many small sized fragments, this value can
be decreased. This can be found if there are lots of packet loss, degradation
in speed and if the following log message is generated very often:"fragment
of size less than configured minimum fragment size detected".
