I've finally gotten around to trying traffic shaping for applications. (I've previously done shaping for firewall rules, to prioritize a VOIP subnet.) One big question: how do I know my application-based (or really any) traffic shaping configuration is actually doing something?
For example, I believe I've reserved bandwidth for Teams and Zoom calls, but how do I know when it's working? What if Sophos Applications classification gets Teams wrong, or what if I accidentally adjust shaping for Glip and not Ring Central, or what if I adjust shaping for Ring Central's video but not for its VOIP (I use the latter, not the former)?
I haven't found anything in the GUI, though I do have to say that the traffic shaping is a bit disjoint in the GUI. There might be a CLI command, and at a minimum all I need is to be able to run something while a Zoom video call or a Ring Central VOIP call is running to make sure there actually is reserved bandwidth for Zoom.
(To be honest, an overall buffer/queue throughput/backup kind of command or display might be pretty cool. I assume I could pull my specific question from that.)
