Taking Control of Sessions
In this chapter, you will see how you can ensure business-critical or latency-sensitive applications do not run out of bandwidth and less important applications are prevented from consuming too much. You will learn how to bypass the routing table and make exceptions for certain sessions, as well as how to decrypt encrypted sessions and look within them to determine actual applications and stop threats.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Controlling the bandwidth with quality-of-service policies
- Leveraging SSL decryption to look inside encrypted sessions
- Redirecting sessions over different paths using policy-based forwarding
By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to look inside encrypted TLS sessions so threats can be stopped, manipulate how sessions are forwarded regardless of the routing table, and make the best of your available bandwidth.
