What is the result of traffic shaping in Cisco ASA?
The result of traffic shaping is a smoothed packet output rate. Note: Traffic shaping is only supported on ASA Versions 5505, 5510, 5520, 5540, and 5550. Multicore models (such as the 5500-X) do not support shaping. With traffic shaping, traffic that exceeds a certain limit is queued (buffered) and sent during the next timeslice.

What does policing mean in Cisco ASA configuration?
Policing is a way to ensure that no traffic exceeds the maximum rate (in bits/second) that you configure, which ensures that no one traffic flow or class can take over the entire resource. When traffic exceeds the maximum rate, the ASA drops the excess traffic. Policing also sets the largest single burst of traffic allowed.
Which is class to match DSCP EF in Cisco ASA?
A class to match DSCP ef: A policy map to apply prioritization of Voice and SSH traffic: A policy map to apply shaping to all traffic and attach prioritized Voice and SSH traffic: Finally attach the shaping policy to the interface on which to shape and prioritize outbound traffic:
How does the ASA work to control bandwidth?
With either method, the ASA measures the bandwidth used by traffic that is classified by a service policy and then attempts to hold the traffic within a configured rate limit. However, each method accomplishes the bandwidth control in a different manner.
Is there a limit to the rate of burst traffic?
08-23-2016 03:53 AM The server is allowed to burst traffic over the rate of 2MBit/s. Thats normal. But if the traffic keeps being over 2 MBit, the excess traffic is dropped and has to be retransmitted which can slow down some operations.
