Network policies allow you to optimize network resource allocation, prioritize
traffic, and configure application classifications.
Prioritize business-critical traffic and latency-sensitive applications
such as VoIP and video.
Create rules that force traffic to use fast path Layer-4 processing
instead of App-ID for Layer-7 inspection. Ideal for custom applications
between known IP addresses., improving performance.
- Policy Based
Forwarding
Direct specific traffic along an alternative
path different from the routing table's next hop.
- NAT
Allows you to not
disclose the real IP addresses of hosts that need access to public
addresses and to manage traffic by performing port forwarding. You can
use NAT to solve network design challenges, enabling networks with
identical IP subnets to communicate with each other.
- Network Packet
Broker
Use packet broker policies to filter and forward
network traffic to an external security chain of one or more third-party
security appliances.
- SD-WAN Policy
Use
application(s) and/or service specific policies to select the preferred
path based on latency, jitter, and packet loss. Automatically reroute
traffic when the preferred path degrades.
