The advanced networking configuration tasks Traffic Shaping and Additional Routes 
are also accessed using the Advanced Networking page. 

Traffic shaping 

The Traffic Shaping feature of your SnapGear appliance allows you to allocate High, 
Medium, or Low priority to the following services: domain (tcp), domain (udp), ftp, ftp-
data, http, https, imap, irc, nntp, ntp, pop3, smtp, ssh, and telnet. 

Traffic Shaping provides a level of control over the relative performance of various types 
of IP traffic. This advanced feature is provided for expert users to fine tune their networks. 

Additional routes 

The Additional routes feature allows expert users to add additional static routes for the 
SnapGear appliance. These routes are additional to those created automatically by the 
SnapGear appliance configuration scripts.
