Traffic Shaping

Hello,

I have a problem with traffic shaping. I have a simple traffic shaping policy to limit the bandwidth when browsing some streaming websites and it's been working perfectly for a while. However, all those websites can't be accessed anymore, no changes were made in the policy. When I check the logs, it shows that those requests are UTM Allowed but the most of the times the received data is 0 kb and a "TCP reset from client" message. When I disable the traffic shaping policy everything goes back to normal. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or there's a flaw within my firewall (FortiGate 400F, V7.0.12).

Any ideas or hints ?

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Can you share your traffic shaping policy?

config firewall shaper traffic-shaper
edit "test_shaper"
set maximum-bandwidth 60
set bandwidth-unit mbps
set priority low
next
end

config firewall shaping-policy
edit 1
set name "TEST"
set status disable
set service "ALL"
set srcintf "port1"
set dstintf "port2"
set traffic-shaper "test_shaper"
set srcaddr "My_PC"
set dstaddr "all"
next

I also specified streaming websites in the application field (youtube and others)

Hi @user_14

Please share your network scenario.

- What is outgoing interface BW

- How much traffic did you configure Shaping ?

- What is your incoming throughput ?

Please share more information about configuration as AEK mentioned too.
