PacketShaper Series : Comparison

PacketShaper: Bandwidth Management

•Divide user and application traffic into Classes

•Guarantee min and/or max bandwidth for a class

•Align traffic classes to business priorities

Sales Automation App(SAP/Saleforce) Priority 1

Min 400Kb, Max 800Kb

Voice and Video(RTP) Priority 4

Min 800Kb, Max 1Mb

E-Mail (SMTP/POP)Priority 2Min 100Kb, Max 400Kb

General Web Surfing (HTTP)Priority 3Min 0Kb, Max 200Kb

Proper Partitioning of Bandwidth is important to achieve proper utilization of company resource (WAN/Internet connection)
