Manage Bandwidth for a Group of Users

What do you do if your CEO complains that the business news videos that he wants to watch every morning are choppy and won’t play correctly? After investigation, you determine that it’s due to a company-wide bandwidth management policy that you implemented for all streaming video? You could ease off on the bandwidth restrictions for everyone, but now there is a better answer: group-based bandwidth management.

On your SonicWALL firewall create a policy to exclude the executive team from streaming video bandwidth management

1. Choose the executive group imported from your LDAP server
2. The Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine uses pre-defined streaming video application signatures from the application signature list
3. Apply bandwidth restriction to traffic with that header
