The rule action is enforced on all traffic that matches the specifications you select.

There are two main components to each rule: the type of traffic to be limited or shaped (rule definition), and how that traffic should be limited or shaped (rule actions). Traffic shaping policies consist of a series of rules that are performed in the order in which they appear in the policy, similar to custom firewall rules. Here is where you will set QoS (bandwidth management) based on ports, IP, or MAC specific rules.
