IPsec VPN Bandwidth Dedication

Hi,

 

I have a working site to site Vpn tunnel between fortigate 60D, i have suffiencent bandwidth in both sides.

 

Data accessed through the vpn is sometimes sluggish during high traffic. I want to dedicate sufficient bandwidth to the VPN to have it functioning optimally.

 

Is this possible on the fortigate 60D v5.6.3?

 

Regards,

Hello,

 

Are you monitoring you external interface and remote sites to see if bandwidth is being maxed out ?

 

What is your speed?

 

You can obviously throttle via the IP Address or via outgoing interface.

My speed is 30mb down and 15mb up.

 

I am monitoring my external interface and remote sites to provide better efficiency.

 

I was wondering if policies can be created to allow dedicated bandwidth to the VPN connection.

The way I do it is create a shared traffic shaper, set it as Max Bandwidth as 15000 (roughly for 15Mb/s). I then create a traffic shaping policy and specify the source and destination and outgoing interface and map it with the shared shaper. 

 

Works for me.
