Policy Tasks

One way to improve network and application performance is to create policies. A policy determines how an application’s individual flows are treated in the context of competing applications, and allows you to manage bandwidth on a flow-by-flow basis. With policies, you can give each flow of mission-critical traffic the bandwidth it needs for optimum performance, as well as protect it from greedy, less important traffic. In addition, policies can keep non-urgent traffic flows (such as FTP) from consuming more than an appropriate share of bandwidth. For more information, see the Policy Overview.
