By using QOS you can get RDP traffic to &quot;leave&quot; the TZ before other traffic that is queued up to go to the Internet, but once the traffic hits the Internet all QOS settings are ignored. &nbsp;So if the problem is congestion in the Internet, or even not enough Internet bandwidth at either or both sites, using QOS could have minimal effect.

By using QOS you can get RDP traffic to "leave" the TZ before other traffic that is queued up to go to the Internet, but once the traffic hits the Internet all QOS settings are ignored.  So if the problem is congestion in the Internet, or even not enough Internet bandwidth at either or both sites, using QOS could have minimal effect.

Thanks for the reply. &nbsp;Yes I understand that once it leaves our network we can't control QOS. &nbsp;It's just that we have a max upload and I want to give priority to RDP traffic traveling over the VPN over everything else. &nbsp;How would I go about this in the Sonicwall?

One last question. &nbsp;How about BWM? &nbsp;These sites are connected with site to site VPN's...should I be looking at just using QoS?

Is it possible to prioritize RDP traffic over the VPN over all other traffic? &nbsp;We are using TZ190's for the remote sites and a 2040 at the data center. &nbsp;Thanks.

Priority for RDP VPN traffic with a Sonicwall?

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.

Network Security

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
