When selecting a shaper to be per policy, the FortiGate unit will apply the shaping rules defined to each security policy individually.

For example, the shaper is set to be per policy with a maximum bandwidth of 1000 Kb/s. There are four security policies monitoring traffic through the FortiGate unit. Three of these have the shaper enabled. Each security policy has the same maximum bandwidth of 1000 Kb/s.

Per policy traffic shaping is compatible with client/server (active-passive) transparent mode WAN optimization rules. Traffic shaping is ignored for peer-to-peer WAN optimization and for client/server WAN optimization not operating in transparent mode.
