Chapter 10 Policy and Static Routes UAG receives a new connection (trigger service) from the remote server, the UAG forwards the traffic to the IP address of the client computer that sent the request. In the following example, you configure two services for port triggering: Incoming service: Game (UDP: 1234) Trigger service: Game-1 (UDP: 5670-5678) 1 Computer A wants to play a multiplayer online game and tries to connect to game server 1 using port 1234. The UAG records the IP address of computer A when the packets match a policy with SNAT configured. 2 Game server 1 responds using a port number ranging between 5670 - 5678. The UAG allows and forwards the traffic to computer A. 3 Computer A and game server 1 are connected to each other until the connection is closed or times out. Any other computers (such as B or C) cannot connect to remote server 1 using the same port triggering rule as computer A unless they are using a different next hop (gateway, outgoing interface, VPN tunnel or trunk) from computer A or until the connection is closed or times out. Figure 104 Trigger Port Forwarding Example Maximize Bandwidth Usage The maximize bandwidth usage option allows the UAG to divide up any available bandwidth on the interface (including unallocated bandwidth and any allocated bandwidth that a policy route is not using) among the policy routes that require more bandwidth. When you enable maximize bandwidth usage, the UAG first makes sure that each policy route gets up to its bandwidth allotment. Next, the UAG divides up an interface's available bandwidth (bandwidth that is unbudgeted or unused by the policy routes) depending on how many policy routes require more bandwidth and on their priority levels. When only one policy route requires more bandwidth, the UAG gives the extra bandwidth to that policy route. When multiple policy routes require more bandwidth, the UAG gives the highest priority policy routes the available bandwidth first (as much as they require, if there is enough available bandwidth), and then to lower priority policy routes if there is still bandwidth available. The UAG distributes the available bandwidth equally among policy routes with the same priority level. 164 UAG715 User's Guide
