Application filters allow key applications to have prioritized access to bandwidth.
These filters ensure mission critical applications have adequate performance during
times of
high congestion. Application filters allow you to manage the policy around non-productive
or
potentially illegal applications. Initially, this includes Peer-to-Peer management,
where the
user may apply block or shape actions across the category or on an individual basis.
These filters block traffic depending on the configured actions for a filter. You
can set these actions to the entire category of filters or override specific filters
to perform a different set of actions.
