The NetEnforcer allows providers to immediately identify, and then cap or limit bandwidth abusers. The NetEnforcer is an ideal platform for rapidly provisioning new subscribers, creating and enforcing multiple tiers of service, and collecting usage-based billing information for export to an external database. More importantly, enterprise networks are willing to pay a premium in order to receive tiered services that guarantee adequate bandwidth to support business-critical applications such as VoIP, SAP, and Citrix. You need a QoS solution that enables advanced services required by your subscribers and to ensure a class of service or fairness that prevents bandwidth hogs from consuming more than their fair share . In addition, traffic in most wireless implementations has inconsistent delays in transmission.
Asymmetric traffic flows requires separate management of downstream and upstream traffic.
Instead of allowing traffic to accumulate at key access points, the NetEnforcer prioritizes application-level traffic to produce an orderly flow from the end stations. Use NetEnforcer to rapidly deploy broadband services, easily and quickly provision new subscribers, and provide per-flow traffic management. Charge different rates per class to highly profitable enterprise customers with business-critical applications such as VoIP, SAP, and Citrix. Use the accounting services to measure customer usage of resources and bill subscribers for actual bandwidth used. In order to further reduce WAN bandwidth consumption, use the optional CacheEnforcer to redirect traffic to cache servers and to also free additional bandwidth for over-subscription.
