Feature Modules

PRX Traffic Manager comes as a base unit plus a number of protocol and feature modules. Feature modules provide additional management and monitoring capabilities.

Feature Modules

Advanced Reporting

The Advanced Reporting module offers additional accounting and statistics capabilities to provide network operators with detailed data on the usage patterns in their network. It allows the definition of traffic classes. These classes can comprise user groups based on IP addresses and subnets, but they can also be based on VLAN tags or the differentiated services codepoint (DSCP) field in the IP header. Subscriber awareness in environments with dynamic IP addresses, for instance based on DHCP, is also supported. All statistics are then available for these classes and the individual users represented by them. These statistical data can be either directly displayed in the Web console or automatically exported to an FTP server for further processing.

IP Control

The IP Control module provides user- and subscriber-aware traffic management. Similar to the Advanced Reporting module, it allows the definition of classes based on IP addresses, subnets, VLANs or the differentiated services codepoint (DSCP) field in the IP header. For each defined class, individual rules (e.g. application data rates, volume limits) can be assigned either to the overall class or to each user or subscriber in this class. Subscriber-aware traffic management with dynamic IP addresses is also supported.
