Directing application traffic to a transport service

The scenario for directing application traffic to a transport service involves the following steps:

1. Creating a transport service

   Create a transport service to which you want to direct application traffic. You can use the following instructions to complete this step:

   • Creating a P2P service
   • Creating a P2M service
   • Creating an M2M service
   • Creating an IP multicast service
   • Creating an L3 VPN service
2. Creating a traffic classification rule

   Create a traffic classification rule to identify the traffic of the application in the overall data stream. When creating a traffic classification rule, you must select the L3 protocol on the L3 fields tab, and select the application whose traffic you want to direct to the transport service on the DPI tab.

   If you want to direct traffic of multiple applications to a transport service, you must create create a traffic classification rule for each application.

3. Creating a traffic filter

   Create a traffic filter to determine if routing the application traffic is allowed. When creating a traffic filter, you must add the traffic classification rules that you created for the application traffic to the traffic filter.

4. Creating an ACL interface

   Create an ACL interface to apply the traffic filter to traffic that is transmitted through this ACL interface. When creating an ACL interface, you must select a traffic filter that you created for the application traffic.

5. Adding the ACL interface to the transport service

   Edit the transport service to add the ACL interface that you created for the application traffic. You can use the following instructions to complete this step:

   • Editing a P2P service
   • Editing a P2M service
   • Editing an M2M service
   • Editing an IP multicast service
   • Editing an L3 VPN service

Application traffic is directed to the transport service.
