Traffic Shaping: © When IP address uses too much of your system's bandwidth to slow your network down. you can prevent a device with that IP address from consuming too much bandwidth. FortiGate units provide Quality of Service by applying bandwidth limits & prioritization. Using traffic shaping, adjust how FortiGate unit allocates resources to different traffic types. Improve performance & stability of latency sensitive or bandwidth intensive network apps. Shared Shapers: For shared shapers, all users share the set guaranteed and maximum bandwidths. For example, if you set a shared shaper for all PCs using an FTP service to 10 Mbps. Allusers uploading to FTP server share the 10 Mbps. Shared shapers affect upload speed. Want to limit download speed from FTP , configure the shared shaper as reverse shaper. FortiGate Firewall may also apply QoS techniques, such as prioritization and traffic shaping. Shared traffic shaper is used in a FortiGate Firewall shaping policy to indicate the priority, Shared Traffic Shaper guaranteed & maximum bandwidth for a specified type of traffic use. Maximum bandwidth indicates the largest amount of traffic allowed when using the policy. You can set the maximum bandwidth to a value between 1 and 16776000 Kbps in FortiGate. ‘The guaranteed bandwidth ensures that there is a consistent reserved bandwidth available. Setting guaranteed bandwidth, ensure value is significantly less than interface's bandwidth. Otherwise, interface allow very little or no other traffic to pass through, causing latency. Shared traffic shaper, administrator can prioritize certain traffic as high, medium, or low. Per-IP traffic Shaper: With per-P traffic shaping, you can limit each IP address's behavior to avoid a situation. Where one user uses all of the available bandwidth in the entire Local Area Network. In addition to controlling the maximum bandwidth used per Internet Protocol address. You can also define the maximum number of concurrent sessions for an IP address as well. For example, if you apply a per-1P shaper of 1 Mbps to your entire network Local Network. FortiOs FortiGate Firewall Unit allocates each user and IP address 1 Mbps of bandwidth. Even if the network consists of a single user, FortiOs FortiGate allocates them 1 Mbps, If there are 10 users, each user gets 1 Mbps of bandwidth, total 10 Mbps of outgoing traffic. Per-1P shapers apply the speed limit on both upload and download operations both sides.
