application categories approved for proliferation within the RF
Domain.
Bytes Uploaded

respect to total data bytes uploaded through the RF Domain member
WiNG managed network. If this category data is not aligned with
application utilization expectations, consider allowing or denying
additional categories or adjusting their precedence
(priority).
