Also would suggest running a report of what your traffic looks like today ... might help tell you where you need to focus. Or just use Live View to get an idea .....
Good points from Josh on the "legal" side ... don't know the rules in the US but in Canada they are "interesting" to say the least... -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Josh Reynolds Sent: Wednesday, March 2, 2016 6:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Procera Packet Logic shaping rules? I'll tell you what I did at my previous employer, to the best of my memory In order of highest to lowest priority... routing protocols ssh, ntp voip and voice messaging gaming speedtest servers streaming video, there was also quite a large buffer for this but I can't remember what it was, maybe 500-1000ms general web traffic, other non-mentioned traffic ALL updates, microsoft, android, apple, etc. P2P Traffic was BLOCKED, and was part of our Terms of Service / AUP VOIP and streaming video were also DSCP flagged for proper classification over an AirMax network. We aimed for the best customer experience possible, and used blanket filters [ALL streaming video, ALL gaming, etc] as to not be discriminatory between different streaming sources, different games, etc where possible. I must note that in saying this, we offered full disclosure of these practices to our customers when asked. It may be documented somewhere else by now, I am busy working on fiber projects. Brush up on the net neutrality rules, and possibly consult a lawyer before implementing these changes and posting them on your website.
