| Product Feature Specification |
|
| System Architecture & Performance |
- Hardware-based architecture
Utilizing a state-of-the-art network processor, GenieNPC is capable of performing L2/3/4 and L7 packet classification and forwarding packets with extreme high-speed
- High system capacity
Tracking up to 4 million bi-directional connections, and managing up to 512,000 subscribers.
- High availability
- Up to 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports with additional synchronization ports for full redundant network deployment
- Internal built-in bypass switch units, with optional external Optical bypass switches, for complete failure-free uninterrupted traffic protection
- Port status synchronization enables traffic switch for link backup
- Active-active deployment and asymmetric stateful inspection deliver highest availability required by network managers
- Flexible Deployment
- In-line mode: Deployed between routers and switches to perform traffic control and management
- Probe mode: For traffic analysis purpose only, probe mode deployment is preferred for an impact-less deployment to the current network environment
|
| Traffic Inspection & Classification |
- Virtual Domain
Managers can define “Virtual Domains” to allow accurate traffic classification in VLAN/GRE tunnel network environments' IP address space overlapping cases.
- Traffic classification
Classifying network traffic by GRE tunnels, VLAN domains, IP address groups, and application types
- Layer 7 deep packet inspection (DPI)
Utilizing HDA (Hardware DPI Accelerator) Engine inspects Layer 7 packet contents for accurate application identification, not only base on TCP/UDP ports
- Control session tracking
Utilizing AFT (Advanced Flow Tracking) technology tracks control session to correctly reveal data session of VoIP (H.323, SIP) and FTP applications
- Signature-based application detection
Identifying end user applications and protocols from distinctive signature in packet payloads, including: 100+ P2P Protocols, VoIP protocols, and Streaming Multimedia protocols
- Port-based applications support
Identifying all traditional port-based applications and protocols
- Subscriber Group Management through RADIUS
Working with GenieATM, can manage subscriber groups through existing RADIUS servers.
- Supported Applications
- P2P Protocols
BitComet, Clubbox/GoGoBox, Direct Connect, EDonkey, Emule, FOXY, GNUTella, Hotline, Kazaa, MXIE, Limewire, Manolito, MUTE, MySee, OpenFT, PPLIve, PPStream, QQLive, Softether, Soulseek, Thunder, UUSee, WinMX, WinNY and more…
- Multimedia & Streaming
Windows Media Server (MMS, WMA, WMV), Shoutcast/ICEcast, Google Video, YouTube, FLV (flash video), RTSP and more…
- VoIP protocols
H323, SIP, and Skype
- File Transfers
FTP and HTTP
- All IP protocols and TCP/UDP port-based protocols
- User definable signatures
- Users can define traffic content matching signatures via regular expression configuration
- Online signature update without system reboot
|
| Flexible and Precise Control Policy |
- Granular bandwidth control
Managing network bandwidth by defining traffic direction (ingress/egress), IP address, per-IP-per-application, application type, and flexible grouping of each
- Flexible multi-tier control policy
Hierarchical 4-tier cascading bandwidth control mechanism, which enables both individual and aggregated traffic control allowing network bandwidth optimization
- Schedule-based bandwidth limit
Network Managers can apply different bandwidth rates per different time periods
- Subscriber-level quota-limit
Managing Subscriber's traffic usage by daily total transferring volumes
- Control Actions
- Traffic forward
- Traffic drop
- ToS remark
- MAC redirect
- Rate shape
- TCP reset
- Traffic mirror
|
| Traffic Statistics & Reporting |
- Traffic statistics export
Exporting detail traffic information with application ID (identified by Layer 7 packet inspection) in NetFlow v5 compatible format enables network managers to understand true application distribution in network for better network planning and bandwidth policy enforcement
- Multiple flow Exporter support
Traffic statistics of different Virtual Domains can be aggregated into different Exporters for NetFlow exportation. Supporting up to 4 NetFlow collectors/analyzers to fulfill different traffic analysis requirements
|
| Operation & System Management |
- WebUI
Graphical User Interface for intuitive system-wide configuration and management, and graphical real-time traffic data report
- Command Line Interface
Support SSH2 secure shell, Telnet and Console for configuration and system upgrade
- SNMP support
Support SNMP v1, v2c and provide MIB
- Firewall on management port
ACL (access-group) can be applied to management port to prevent unauthorized access
