Traffic Shaping

Traffic shaping is a network traffic management technique whose functionality is used by Bandwidth Management Systems, Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) and WAN Optimisation solutions. It is used to optimise or guarantee performance, improve latency, and/or increase usable bandwidth for some protocols or application streams by delaying other, less critical ones. Streams are categorised and prioritised across the network, based on TCP port, application signature and any Qos or Cos applied. Based on this categorisation, rules are applied which will give certain mission-critical application traffic streams expedited transport or greater bandwidth.
