Traffic Management
Prioritize critical applications, balance WAN links, and inspect traffic at Layer 7 for policy enforcement.
Overview
Beyond blocking threats, Nebero optimizes how bandwidth is used-ensuring business-critical applications receive priority, links are utilized efficiently, and application-level policies are enforced through deep inspection.
Capabilities in this category
Bandwidth control / QoS (Quality of Service)
Allocate bandwidth and prioritize traffic classes by application or user.
Define QoS policies that reserve minimum bandwidth for VoIP, video, and ERP systems while limiting recreational traffic during peak hours. Per-queue shaping and marking align with DSCP standards for end-to-end priority on your network.
Load balancing across WAN links
Distribute sessions across multiple internet or MPLS uplinks.
Active-active or active-passive WAN load balancing improves resilience and throughput. Health checks remove failed links from the pool automatically, and session-aware distribution avoids asymmetric routing issues.
Application-layer filtering (Layer 7 / deep packet inspection)
Identify applications and enforce policies beyond port and protocol.
Deep packet inspection classifies traffic by application-even when ports are obfuscated-so policies can allow Salesforce while blocking unsanctioned file-sharing. Integration with user identity enables application control per role or department.
URL/content filtering and web categorization
Block or allow web access by category, reputation, and custom lists.
Categorized URL databases cover millions of sites across productivity, security risk, and compliance groups. Custom allow/deny lists, safe search enforcement, and HTTPS SNI inspection provide flexible web access governance.
SD-WAN (software-defined WAN)
Intelligent path selection and failover across multiple WAN links.
Application-aware SD-WAN steers traffic over the best available link based on real-time health metrics. Policies defined in the centralized control panel deploy to every P64A and S64A appliance-unifying routing, security, and reporting across your fleet.
