Traffic Shaping on F5 Link Controller

Dear all,

 

 

 

 

I have a requirement to shape my company bandwidth via F5 Link Controller. So the requirement is that I have bandwidth around 10Mbps and I want to divide it into 6Mbps for emails and 4 Mbps for the rest.

 

 

Is there any possibility doing it via iRules? If that is possible , anyone could help me with the syntax?

 

 

 

Thanks

 

Hartono

 

  • doesn't "rate shaping" work?

  • Yes, rate shaping is working if I make a two virtual servers (one for SMTP traffic and the other one for the rest ) then I put the rate shaping accordingly.

     

     

    But I wonder if that procedure can be simplified using an iRules

     

     

     

  • is this helpful?
