I am not sure if this should be a traffic shaping policy or firewall rule. My goal is to limit Xfinity TV by restricting the bandwidth or limiting its use to almost 256K for example. Just to deter people from using it.
Any help on how to approach this would be great.
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you go to SD-WAN & Traffic Shaping, then under Traffic Shaping Rules, click add a new shaping rule.
From here you can add a definition, under "Video & Music" XfinityTV is already defined. You can then apply a bandwidth limit for this traffic (this will apply to all clients).
I suspect this will be the simplest and easiest way of achieving this.

What @MarkiP said
you can block Xfinity TV outright 😃
Thanks guys. I put in a rule to limit hulu, xfiniity, and netflix to 256K connections. Great suggestion and I appreciate the advise.
Our mgmt doesn't like the idea of blocking it so I throttled it down to a point where nobody will want to use it. Just a culture thing here I believe.
