Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S390 Guida Utente

Defining bandwidth limits only throttles the data going to users. It does not block data based on reaching 
a quota. The Web Proxy introduces latency into each application transaction to mimic a slower link to 
the server.

Choose Web Security Manager > Overall Bandwidth Limits

Click Edit Settings.

Select the Limit to option.

Enter the amount of traffic to limit in either Megabits per second (Mbps) or kilobits per second (kbps).

Submit and Commit Changes.

You can define user bandwidth limits by configuring bandwidth control settings on the Applications 
Visibility and Control page of Access Policies. You can define the following types of bandwidth controls 
for users in Access Policies:

Overall 

Define an overall limit for all users on the network for the 
supported application types. The overall bandwidth limit 
affects the traffic between the Web Security appliance and web 
servers. It does not limit traffic served from the web cache. 

User 

Define a limit for particular users on the network per 
application type. User bandwidth limits traffic from web 
servers as well as traffic served from the web cache. 

Default bandwidth limit 
for an application type

In the Global Access Policy, you can 
define the default bandwidth limit for all 
applications of an application type.
