ADVANCED FEATURES
Check Point QoS includes advanced features to allow authenticated QoS,
support Citrix MetaFrame, and integrate with Load Sharing configurations.
Authenticated QoS
Check Point Authenticated QoS provides Quality of Service for end-users in
dynamic IP environments, such as remote-access and DHCP environments.
Authenticated QoS enables priority users, such as corporate CEOs, to receive
priority service when remotely connecting to corporate resources.
Authenticated QoS dynamically prioritizes end users, based on information
gathered during network or VPN authentication. The feature leverages Check
Point UserAuthority technology, to classify both inbound and outbound user
connections. Check Point QoS supports Client Authentication, including
encrypted Client Authentication, and VPN-1 SecuRemote/SecureClient
authentication. User and Session Authentication are not supported.
Citrix MetaFrame Support
Citrix MetaFrame is a client/server software application that enables a client to
run a published application on a Citrix server farm, from the client's desktop.
One of the disadvantages of using Citrix ICA is that uncontrolled printing
traffic can consume all available bandwidth, leaving mission-critical
applications struggling.
Check Point QoS solves the problem by:
• Classifying all ICA applications running over Citrix through layer 7.
• Differentiating between the Citrix traffic based on ICA published
applications, ICA printing traffic (Priority Tagging), and NFuse.
