The First Intelligent Bandwidth Control for Wireless Networks
Meraki Traffi c Shaper allows administrators to see precisely how their
network is being used and to reserve bandwidth for critical applications
while restricting recreational network usage
Powerful Insight and Control
• Analyze network traffi c by application or application class
• Enforce traffi c shaping policies (e.g., limit each user’s peer to peer traffi c)
• Stay up to date with hundreds of constantly updated application signatures
• Prioritize critical applications using QoS policies
Traffi c Control is Business Critical
Wireless LANs have become a critical part of a network infrastructure
Yet mission-critical applications increasingly compete with recreational
network usage The result? The ability to intelligently control wireless
traffi c translates directly to business application performance
Port-Based Controls No Longer Suffi ce
Bandwidth hungry recreational applications, such as video streaming and peer to peer fi le sharing, have proliferated within businesses and schools and can cripple the performance of critical applications Yet the line between recreational and business application is not always clear Wireless organizations need an intelligent, adaptive system to recognize which is which - without costly and complex traffi c shaping appliances
Cloud-Hosted Application Fingerprints are Always Current
New applications are constantly arriving, while bandwidth hogs like
fi le sharing hop from port to port and protocol to protocol Meraki’s cloud-based application signature database is constantly updated with application fi ngerprints from thousands of networks and millions
of clients As a result, traffi c classifi cation on your network is always current and precise, with no updates to download and install
Cloud-Based Traffi c Shaping: Power and Simplicity

How It Works
Scalability and Performance
• Enterprise-grade CPU performs layer 7 analysis and shaping
on each AP with no performance loss
• No per-network bandwidth limits: distributed packet processing
eliminates network bottlenecks
Additional Features
• Built in multi-site management
• Apply wired LAN QoS tags (802.1p) to applications or groups
• View data and create separate policies for each SSID
Ordering Information
• Available on all Meraki Enterprise networks at no additional cost
• No additional hardware needed
• Generally available September, 2010
Application Insight
• Identifi es and controls traffi c from hundreds of applications
• Classifi es evasive or encrypted traffi c with advanced heuristics
• Cloud-based signature database is always current
• Create up to 100 custom rules for in-house applications
Content Insight
• Identifi es and controls traffi c based on HTTP/HTTPS content type (e.g., audio, video, text, application)
• Recognizes HTTP-encapsulated video and audio
User Insight
• Identifi es traffi c based on user name, computer name, operating system, and other useful client attributes
