If you've been thinking that you need more bandwidth, or just that your traffic patterns are out of control, you should consider a bandwidth management product. You can pay MUCH more for custom hardware products, but don't be fooled by the fancy marketing jargon used by our competitors. In fact, we believe that our product is the most feature rich available, at any price. Our solutions provide greater CPU and memory options than our competitors, which are the most important factors in handling large volumes of traffic. For example, you you can limit a particular IP or range of addresses to 128000bps when usage is light and 56000bps when usage is heavy.
Some products only prioritize when traffic levels reach capacity.
Although these products will effectively skew packet drops to lower priority traffic, it does not allow you to streamline the traffic flows during normal operation. By setting priority thresholds, you can set the point where queue depths begin to affect the flow of critical data and enforce prioritization before service levels fall to unacceptable levels. Corporate Streamlining Not only ISPs can benefit from bandwidth management. Companies need to make sure that their critical traffic streams flow smoothly, and that database response times meet service level requirements. Your customers can view statistics and graphical analysis any time they want and for any period of time that is stored on the machine.
