The BIG-IP local traffic management system includes a feature called rate shaping which allows you to enforce a throughput policy on incoming traffic. Throughput policies are useful for prioritizing and restricting bandwidth on selected traffic patterns.
Rate shaping can be useful for an e-commerce site that has preferred clients and would like to offer higher throughput for preferred customers, and lower throughput for other site traffic.
This article will discuss how to create and manage rate classes as well as how to assign them to virtual servers.
