Using faster ports on WatchGuard Firebox helps avoid congestion, especially during busy periods. For example, high-bandwidth applications and VPN traffic run more smoothly, which helps maintain user productivity.

The transition to faster ports on WatchGuard Firewalls helps maintain productivity during peak usage times by improving overall network throughput, reducing congestion, and supporting higher volumes of simultaneous traffic without performance degradation. In practical terms, this is especially important in environments with heavy VPN usage, cloud applications such as Microsoft 365, VoIP traffic, video conferencing, file transfers, and multi-branch office connections.

The high-speed ports in WatchGuard Firebox have helped maintain productivity during usage peaks in my organization by remaining stable, with no major issues regarding bandwidth, as it has been quite balanced.
