Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)

anneal
Current firmware version: 9.304-9
Model: ASG220

About some time in late november that Background Intelligent Transfer Service or BITS changed to unclassified. Google updater uses BITS from 1e100.net to update Chrome. When it wants to update it uses up all of our bandwidth at the company I work for. So I throttled BITS which worked great. But now that it is unclassified I can no longer shape it. I have been trying to find ways to reclassify BITS or throttle traffic from a URL like 1e100.net, but have came up empty handed. I also tried rebooting the UTM. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

    There's a trick to preferring some download traffic over other.  Use the Flow Monitor on the External interface to configure Download Throttling for the traffic you want to prefer, but set the limit at 1Gb.  After you've done that for your preferred traffic, go to the 'Download Throttling' tab and create a rule at the bottom limiting all the rest of the traffic (Any -> Any -> Any).

    BITS is supposed to be recognized.  What happens if you make a rule in Application Control blocking BITS traffic - does it block?

    Cheers - Bob
