Question

Office 365 Traffic Shaper for migration

We are moving the entire company to 365 in the next couple of weeks. Tentative cutover date of 12.20 or so.

Unfortunately, we have a few sites with some substantial bandwidth limitations.

 

Any tips on creating a traffic shaper or other method for allowing 365 to use all available bandwidth, but subordinating that bandwidth to everything else? The whole system is gonna be bogged down for a couple of days if everyone is downloading 10GB email boxes.

 

From what I can tell, I think I need a shared reverse shaper, correct?  But I don't really want to CAP the bandwidth.  If nothing or nobody is using bandwidth, 365 can have all of it.  But if someone needs a file from the data center, 365 needs to slow down and make room for that.   

 

I currently have a single outgoing policy for Office 365 so i can apply different security to it vs other traffic.

 

all locations are either 60Es or 80Es on 6.2.1.

Thanks.
