Summary
Do you face with the problem of slow application response even with increase bandwidth? QoS may be the solution for you. QoS enables you to provide better service to certain type of traffic. This is done by either raising the priority of one type of traffic or limiting the priority of another type of traffic. The type of traffic can be controlled by multiple factors: application type, people using it, where and how people connect to the network, and their security profile. |
Product characteristics
Application Based QoS
With development of network applications, more and more applications and web services are built upon basic protocols, like HTTP. Some protocols begin to use the encryption techniques to hide its content. Application identification based on port alone is no longer enough, and even content may not reveal much because of the encryption. Hillstone’s proprietary IAI (Intelligent Application Identification) can classify hundreds of network applications, even encrypted P2P(Bit Torrent, Emule, Xunlei etc.) and IM traffics. Traffic can be identified and marked according its applications type. Traffic bandwidth can be controlled and prioritized according to the application identification and marking result. One typical scenario is critical ERP and OA traffic can have higher priority and guaranteed bandwidth. For WEB surfing and P2P downloading traffic, the administrator can assign a lower priority and limit the maximum bandwidth they consumed. In another scenario, NetBar user can use this functionality to manage and prioritize their entertainment traffic.
Role Based QoS
Role based QoS can help administrators easily control the traffic of important user and implement traffic priority. Hillstone device can support prioritization and bandwidth control (inbound and outbound) of up to 20K different users or IP addresses. Combining with application QoS, Hillstone device offer’s a 2-layer QoS control. Each user’s application traffic can be regulated. For example, for different traffic generated by one user, administrator can specify the priority and bandwidth based on application classification.
Maximizing Bandwidth Utilization
During off-peak hours, customer’s network bandwidth may not be fully utilized. Hillstone’s Flex QoS can detect network’s egress/ingress bandwidth utilization in real time and adjust the bandwidth assigned to certain user or application dynamically. This feature helps the customer greatly in fully utilizing their bandwidth resource, while also guarantees their network performance during peak time.
Network Traffic Monitoring and Statistics
Hillstone QoS solution also offers a variety of reporting and monitoring feature to help administrator visualize their network condition. User can easily find out the interface bandwidth consumption, bandwidth consumption of different applications, and bandwidth consumption of different users and IP address. History data about bandwidth consumption can also be collected for future analyze.
Conclusion
Hillstone QoS solution offers the administrator a very powerful tool to manage his network resources. |
