Hi Eric, I was directed to your article to assist me with creation of bandwidth control environment. I need the solution to be broader than apply to HTTP traffic or even TCP traffic (it needs to cover both TCP and UDP). I want to apply the policy to ideally an IP forwarding VS or at least a Performance L4 VS. First of all can you confirm if this is possible i.e. can BIG-IP shape / limit all these traffic types? Second could you let us know how the iRule / Config would need to be modified to support all traffic types flowing through a 0.0.0.0/0 VS. Lastly is BIG-IP able to perform the bandwidth control in both directions or just one? If both is possible what needs to be done again in that circumstance. Thanks
