Streaming Protocols
Different new applications, often still in their development, offer streamed content. Receiving radio, television and movies over IP will rapidly grow in future. The requirements on traffic quality, e.g. low latency or low packet loss rate, are extremely high. Streaming protocols use a high portion of bandwidth. The demand for solutions for traffic management and QoS are therefore also very high.
Key facts:
- Layer-7 protocol detection with DPI and behavior analysis
- VoIP, P2P, IM, media streaming, Web, e-mail protocol support
- detection of encrypted protocols like Skype, BitTorrent, eDonkey/eMule, Winny
- Subscriber-level bandwidth and policy management
- true Gigabit wire speed
- over 600,000 packets per second
- over 20 million concurrent connections
- over 500,000 new connections per second
- permit legal and illegal file sharing
- regular signature updates
- fast integration as transparent bridge
- integrated bypass and hot standby for hardware failover
- Web GUI and CLI for flexible administration
Key benefits:
- reduced communication and infrastructure costs
- comprehensive network visibility
- QoS management per application and subscriber
- restrict unauthorized network access
- tiered service and pricing models
- Network policy management
