About the Scanner Advanced tab
This tab allows you to configure how the scanner processes on your
Sidewinder G2 will be distributed for incoming and outgoing traffic. This is done
by configuring the scanner groups that are defined in the distribution table.
There are four groups (or types) of traffic, each with a specific size category.
For each size category, you can specify how many scanner processes will be
dedicated to processing traffic for that size range. (You cannot modify the size
values or configure additional size categories.)
The File Size Range column displays the size limits for each group. The
Scanners column displays the number of scanner processes that will be
dedicated to that size range. The number of scanner processes that you
specify for each group will depend on the type of traffic your Sidewinder G2
processes.
For example, if your Sidewinder G2 processes a large amount of traffic that is
under 40kB, you may dedicate a larger number of scanner processes to that
group. If your Sidewinder G2 processes only a small amount of traffic that
exceeds 40kB, you may dedicate only one scanner process to that group.
There is also a default Unlimited group that processes all traffic that is over
1MB.
