How to limit bandwidth with URL

s_quasar — Tue, 15 Nov 2016 14:57:57 GMT

Hi,

Is there someone that can explain me if is possible to limit bandwidth applied to a specific URL in PA-500?

URL Filtering is active in the configuration.

Example:

I'm hosting the site www.domain.com. When traffic arrives 200 MB bandwidth must be limited to a maximum of 1Mbit / s.

you can create a custom URL category for your URL, then create a policy that assigns that category to it's own class, then limit that class via a QoS profile

Hi,

thank you for the support!

In the custom URL is possible to insert a list of URL or have I to create separated QoS rules for every URL that I want to limit?

Greetings

First you create custom url category and then add all your url's into it.

Hi,

and for these scenario is there a solution?

I'm hosting the site www.domain.com. This site can't exceed the limit of 10Mbit/s. When traffic arrives 200 MB bandwidth must be limited to a maximum of 1Mbit / s.

no you can't have a 'dynamic' profile where a different limit is enforced based on the overall throughput

you can, however, set guarantees for other traffic so your inbound connections don't drown out other sessions
