Application group

You can add application protocols that have similar signatures or restrictions to an application group. APR recognizes packets of the application protocols by matching the packet contents with the signatures or restrictions. If a packet is recognized as the packet of an application protocol in the application group, the packet is considered to be the packet of the application group. Features such as QoS and ASPF can handle packets belonging to the same group in batch.

You can add application protocols to a user-defined application group by using the following methods:

• Add application protocols one by one to the application group.

• Copy application protocols from another application group to the application group.
