Traffic shaping is a network traffic management technique whose functionality is used by Bandwidth Management Systems, Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) and WAN Optimisation solutions. It is used to optimise or guarantee performance, improve latency, and/or increase usable bandwidth for some protocols or application streams by delaying other, less critical ones. Streams are categorised and prioritised across the network, based on TCP port, application signature and any Qos or Cos applied. Based on this categorisation, rules are applied which will give certain mission-critical application traffic streams expedited transport or greater bandwidth.
Take control of your applications. As application environments become more complex, more distributed, and more virtualized, enterprises need a broader set of tools to solve performance problems for their web-based services. Ivanti Virtual Traffic Manager is a software-based application delivery controller (ADC) designed to deliver a faster, high-performance user experience, with more reliable access to […]
‘We are really happy with the Juniper Mist solution provided by IP Performance and in fact when you look at the number of daily connections I would say it’s exceeded our expectations, for example in our Coatbridge campus the feedback from all staff and students for a number of years has been really negative regarding the Wifi but right now we currently have 600 users connected. The ability to look at the monitor and see what the trends are in terms of time-to-connect and successful connections also gives us the ability to see a problem before it impacts on a number of users. Therefore this reduces the amount of Wifi issues that are submitted to our helpdesk, so this again shows that the solution works.’
