Hi,

I have 50 mbps internet bandwidth . Server Administrator is always complaining about the internet bandwidth .

When he download files it never cross above 3 Mbps.

In traffic Shaping I have prioritized this traffic and given full bandwidth .

Though the server not getting more than 3 Mbps.

Q1. What will be the default policy If I did not create any particular traffic shaping policy ?

Q2.How To check why the traffic is not increasing

Thanks

A couple of things to check:

1) Are you getting errors on the interface?

I believe the command to check is >dia sys har nic wanx <- interface name here

2) Are both sides of your WAN connected at the same duplex?

3) Are you getting fragmented packets?

no errors 2) Are both sides of your WAN connected at the same duplex?

same duplex 3) Are you getting fragmented packets?

How to check fragmented packets?

I would also add to check the other side of the connection from the server admin's pc to the fgt and anything in between.

Though, I can't see under any circumstances the connection being that slow from the server admin pc to the Internet unless there something like either packet lost, full blown UTM/IPS packet inspection enabled on the connection and/or traffic shaping misconfigured, possible maxed throughput.

If would help if you let us know what model and firmware the fgt is running - if the firewall policies are divided up to cover various type of traffic or a single one firewall policy. If traffic shaping is involved - how is it set up? (any set for guaranteed bandwidth?) Has ingress egress values been set up on the WAN interface?

Are you using sd-wan?

If so the load balancing could be the culprit. Due to the balancing algorithm you could be balancedonto a slow wan then even though you have a traffic shaper on the policy.

In this case I would suggest a sd-wan rule instead of the shaper to priorize that traffic with guaranteed bandwith.
