CHAPTER 19 Application Patrol 19.1 Overview Application patrol provides a convenient way to manage the use of various applications on the network. It manages general protocols (for example, HTTP and FTP) and instant messenger (IM), peer-to-peer (P2P), Voice over IP (VoIP), and streaming (RSTP) applications. You can even control the use of a particular application's individual features (like text messaging, voice, video conferencing, and file transfers). Application patrol also has powerful bandwidth management including traffic prioritization to enhance the performance of delay-sensitive applications like voice and video. There is also an option that gives SIP traffic priority over all other traffic going through the NXC. This maximizes SIP traffic throughput for improved VoIP call sound quality. 19.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter • The General summary screen (Section 19.2 on page 275) enables and disables application patrol. • The Common, Instant Messenger, Peer to Peer, VoIP, and Streaming screens (Section 19.2 on page 275) display the applications the NXC can recognize, and review the settings for each one. You can also enable and disable the rules for each application and specify the default and custom policies for each application. • The Application Patrol Edit screen (Section 19.2.1 on page 276) edits the settings for an application. • The Application Policy Edit screen (Section 19.2.2 on page 279) edits a group of settings for an application. • The Other screens (see Section 19.3 on page 281) control what the NXC does when it does not recognize the application, and it identifies the conditions that refine this. It also lets you open the Other Configuration Add/Edit screen to create new conditions or edit existing ones. NXC5200 User's Guide 265
