Bandwidth Control

Hello,

I have some users who consume lot of bandwidth while in working hours, it make lot disturbance to other users where their outlook not even able to make Send & Receive. Already tried using traffic selector but still each day they consume min 4 to 5 GB, and these are not downloads but can i see lot of traffic going to Facebook Video chat and Facebook domain, My current situation not allow me to totally deny the traffic, these guy got special permission for full internet access. so i plan to reduce their bandwidth.

Attached screenshot the victim ip.

Where do you see the traffic going to videochat/facebook? Is it in the Flow monitor? If so from there you can either shape or throttle the traffic and it will automatically create the necessary rules under Interfaces & Routing -> QoS.

With application control you can also block Facebook video chat while still allowing normal facebook traffic.

Is there any way to reduce the bandwidth from source ip instead of selecting from facebook, because already tried using flow monitor to control the fb video chat but still he consume lot of bandwidth. so i want to slow down this connection.

Feroz, please show us a simple diagram with IP addresses that shows which traffic in which direction you want to slow.

OK, Feroz, thanks for your explanation via a PM. I understand now that you want to limit inbound HTTPS traffic for this user. Please show pictures of your QoS configuration for this traffic.
