  • I would not do this based on IPsec. Instead based of the traffic "within IPSec". So you have a Rule LAN to VPN and LAN to WAN. You can give LAN to VPN a higher priority, which bascially mean, the firewall will put this traffic infront of the other traffic. This will resolve the need of figure out, how the appliance deal with IPsec.

  • I believe IPSEC site-to-site creates a firewall rule. In the firewall rule, At the bottom of the firewall rule's details there is a Traffic Shaping field. You can create or use a Guarantee rule-based policy to reserve bandwidth for IPSEC. In the Traffic Shaping policy, you'd want it to be Rule-based, higher priority (lower number), Guarantee (and guarantee a reasonable amount of bandwidth), and Shared usage type. I think... I'm just starting to learn traffic shaping.

  • not correct, there is no rule in gui visible
