RUCKUS controllers, such as SmartZone, provide Application Recognition and Control which uses Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to identify and classify traffic based on applications. When creating an Application Policy for a WLAN, an administrator can define rules that take specific actions on the identified application traffic. The three primary actions available are: denying the traffic, applying upstream and/or downstream rate limits to control bandwidth consumption, and setting a Quality of Service (QoS) priority, typically by marking the traffic with a specific Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value to prioritize it on the network.

C. URL Filter: This is a distinct feature from Application Policy, typically configured under Web Content Filtering, which inspects and acts upon the destination URL string, not the application signature.

E. Local Breakout: This is a WLAN tunneling option that determines where traffic egresses the network (at the AP or controller), not an action applied to a specific application flow.

F. VLAN Assignment: VLANs are assigned to a client upon association with the WLAN, either statically for the entire WLAN or dynamically based on user authentication attributes, not per application.

1. RUCKUS SmartZone 5.2.1 Administrator Guide: In the chapter "Configuring Application Policies," the section "Creating an Application Policy Rule" details the configurable actions. It explicitly lists "Deny," "Rate Limiting" (Upstream Rate Limit and Downstream Rate Limit), and "Set Priority" (QoS/DSCP marking) as the available actions for a rule. (Reference found in Chapter 32, Page 785).

2. RUCKUS vSZ-H 3.5.1 Configuration Guide: The section on "Application Visibility and Control" describes the process of creating application policies. It states, "For each rule, you can configure the controller to deny access, apply rate limiting, or set a traffic priority." (Reference found in Chapter: "Services & Profiles," Section: "Application Policy," Page 341).
