Application Packet Filtering

Note:

Prior to Edge 6.0 GA, the objects that perform MOS scoring were originally called “Applications” but have been renamed “Rule Groups” in this, and future, releases.

In Edge 6.0 GA, Applications are a set of one or more rule match criteria, such as IP address, Protocol, DSCP, or Port Number. An Application is a way to put an identifier on a packet when it enters the system to track it. Once a flow has been matched to an Application type, the Application identifier can be used either on the rule or firewall filter as possible match criteria to handle this type of traffic as needed.
