Measures reported by FgFnP2PStatsTest

In large environment where thousands of employees access the internet at the same time, administrators may want to keep a check on the utilization of the internet bandwidth. Therefore, administrators may use a security policy on the FortiGate firewall to block peer to peer connections that are considered as one of the primary reasons for the depleting internet bandwidth. P2P traffic can be blocked via Web filtering, URL filtering and app control, or any combination of all three. Administrators may want to keep track on the data transmitted through peer to peer connections so that they can learn the bandwidth usage pattern of the employees and provide optimal resources to all the employees of the organization. This is where the FgFnP2PStatsTest test helps!

This test reports the number of peer to peer connections blocked and the amount of data transmitted over the network using the peer to peer protocol. Using this test administrators can determine the pattern of data traffic over the peer to peer protocol and take remedial measures to optimize the internet bandwidth consumption.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target firewall being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:
