QoS Support
Strata Cloud Manager supports creating QoS profiles, policies, and enabling QoS on
interfaces to manage network traffic, prioritize critical applications, and optimize
bandwidth usage.
QoS enables you to prioritize and manage network traffic to ensure critical
applications and services receive the necessary bandwidth and resources.
You can now configure QoS on the next-generation firewalls in Strata™ Cloud Manager.
Enable
QoS capabilities on NGFWs through the
following configuration components for traffic prioritization and bandwidth
management:
QoS Profile- Defines traffic classification rules and bandwidth allocation
parameters
- Establishes service level priorities for different application types
- Configures queue management and traffic shaping policy rules
QoS Policy- Applies QoS Profiles to specific traffic flows based on defined
criteria
- Implements rule-based traffic classification and prioritization
- Enables granular control over application and user-based QoS
enforcement
QoS Egress Interface Configuration- Designates network interfaces for QoS policy rule enforcement
- Configures outbound traffic shaping and bandwidth limits
- Ensures proper queue management at interface level
By implementing QoS, you can improve overall network efficiency, enhance user
experience for critical services, and align network resource allocation with your
organization's priorities. With QoS, you can maximize the value of your existing
network infrastructure while ensuring that your most important traffic always gets
through, even during periods of high network utilization.
