Contention for shared bandwidth often degrades application performance, and organizations have little control in guaranteeing that high priority traffi c is passed ahead of non-priority traffic. BIG-IP L7 Rate Shaping Module adds fi ne-grained bandwidth control to better manage application bandwidth usage and traffic spikes. Ensures that business critical applications are not impacted by non-priority traffi c. Delivers optimal application performance by allocating bandwidth for higher priority applications. Eliminates special purpose Rate Shaping products for simplified, centralized traffi c management capabilities. Provides fl exible bandwidth limits, full support for bandwidth borrowing, and traffic queuing (stochastic fair queue, FIFO ToS priority queue). Controls rate classes based on any traffi c variable; allows application bandwidth to be shared across similar priority applications for better resource sharing. A valuable security function which ensures that specific types of application traffi c stay within authorized boundaries.
