2.2.4    Policy Based Traffic Shaping 
 
Policy Based Traffic Shaping allows you to apply specific traffic policies across a 
range of IP addresses or ports. This is particularly useful for assigning different 
policies for different PCs on the network. Policy based traffic shaping lets you better 
manage your bandwidth, providing reliable Internet and network service to your 
organization. 
 
 
 
2.2.5  Priority Bandwidth Utilization 
 
Assigning priority to a certain service allows BiGuard 2/10 to give either a higher or 
lower priority to traffic from this particular service. Assigning a higher priority to an 
application ensures that it is processed ahead of applications with a lower priority 
and vice versa.
