■ Intenal/External bandwidth threats

"Eat-all-you-can-eat" style of bandwidth consumption makes internal networks and external networks face the challenges. Bandwidth at external networks is occupied by P2P so mission-critical applications cannot obtain adequate bandwidth. Internal users compete for the limited bandwidth at external networks, causing unfairness among the internal users. For telecom operators and enterprise/campus network administrators, simutaneously solving internal and external bandwidth problems becomes the most critical demand.

■ L7 + L8 Solution

InstantQoS bandwidth manager from L7 Networks recognizes applications with the DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) technology. With its unique multi-view realtime traffic discovery, you can get a full picture of your network. Then assign the analyzed result with its dynamic bandwidth borrowing, prioritization, fair queuing, per-ip rate / quota / session controls, and tree-based QoS channels to optimize your traffic. Finally, the built-in report engine can bring you fully customizable charts to demonstrate its effectiveness. InstantQoS can also track major application’s detailed bahaviors for administrators to setup advanced L8 policies. For example, the built-in URL database can classify website traffic into 50+ categories. You can assign porn traffic to limited QoS channels while news traffic to high-bandwidth QoS channels. 

■ 5-Step Operation: manage evil traffic and optimize critical services

 Step 1. Visibility: apply advanced technology to detect the newest application or user behaviors

 Step 2. Control: limit P2P but offer dynamic bandwidth allocation to utilize available bandwidth

 Step 3. Protection: protect users from being attacked by DoS/DDoS traffic

 Step 4. Differentiation: manage the cost and differentiate services to users

 Step 5. Operation: provide the best quality to priemum users
