Traffic Shaping
47
Once you have graphed a (possibly bi-directional) traffic flow, you can then also define speed restrictions on
those flows. These can be simple "Tx" and "Rx" speed limits or more complex settings allowing maximum
average speeds over time.
You define the speed controls associated with the graphed traffic flow(s) by creating a
shaper
top-level object.
To create or edit a
shaper
object in the web User Interface, first click on the "Shape" category icon. To create
a new object, click the "Add" link. To edit an existing object, click the appropriate "Edit" link instead.
The
shaper
object specifies the parameters (primarily traffic rates) to use in the traffic shaping process, and
the
shaper
is associated with the appropriate existing graph by specifying the
name
attribute of the
shaper
object to be the same as the name of the graph.
