Monitoring prioritization of applications

The Prioritization report shows how often applications were prioritized (also referred to as re-ordering or re-queuing).

This report answers questions such as:

  • I've created a number of policies with different priorities; how much of my traffic is re-ordered to ensure that my important traffic has priority on my network?

A high percentage means that the system is prioritizing more often to ensure performance of your applications. A high percentage also means that by turning off the optimizer there is a higher probability critical applications will suffer.

EXAMPLE

A ratio of 40% means 40% of the packets on your network were re-ordered. That means that non critical data was queued so business critical data could jump the queue and be delivered according to business requirements.
