      Hi All,

      I am at a loss trying to limit IPSEC Traffic.

      There is a 50Mbps connection (full duplex) as WAN

      This site has IPSEC VPN's to around 12 other sites. And currently sometimes IPSEC Traffic maxes out the WAN port at 50Mbps

      I would like to limit IPSEC Traffic to a total of 35Mbps leaving 15Mbps for other services like SIP etc.

      I have created an Inbound and Outbound Limiter of 35Mbps and applied this Limiter to the Firewall Rule via "In / Out Pipe"

      My limiters are set to 35Mbps, Mask = Source Address

      My Firewall Rule for IPSEC Traffic, is Source * Destination *

      Am I missing something stupid here ?

      Thanks, Scott

        I think that's all you need to do, if you want to limit all IPSEC traffic.

          Hi FSR,

          It is not limiting my IPSEC traffic. When I copy a file via the IPSEC link it can exceed 35Mbps and goes right up to full bandwidth

          Any ideas ?

            Did you reset all states? (or even reboot the firewall, if that's ok, just to be sure)
