Question

The problem of simultaneously calling shared files and per IP files in traffic shaping strategies

Hello, when the shared configuration file is configured with a maximum bandwidth of 100Mbps, low priority, and a maximum bandwidth of 30Mbps per IP configuration file, and the traffic shaping policy calls both the shared and each IP configuration file, is the traffic priority still low priority? Will other high priority traffic be forwarded first when passing through the firewall

Hello @nplljw ,

 

When both shared and per IP bandwidth configurations are applied traffic remains low priority unless explicitly overridden. High priority traffic will be forwarded first. The shared limit applies globally, while the per IP cap restricts individual IP usage within the shared bandwidth.
