12.1.2 WAN Traffic Policies
A WAN traffic policy is a set of rules that control the generation of eDirectory traffic. These rules
are created as text and are stored as an eDirectory property value on the Server object, the LAN Area
object, or both. The policy is interpreted according to a simple processing language.
You can apply policies to individual servers or you can create LAN Area objects and assign several
servers to one of these objects. Any policy that is applied to the LAN Area object is automatically
applied to all servers that are assigned to the object.
WAN Traffic Manager comes with several predefined policy groups. You can use these policies as
they are, modify them to meet your needs, or write new policies.
