The emerging internet technologies have led Internet and Intranet into a new broadband era. Most of those new internet technologies have also brought in new malicious attacks, worms and network abuse which created new challenges to network managers and operators in managing their business-critical networks. Especially, the popularity of P2P and multimedia streaming applications has seriously impacted network operation. P2P applications continuously generate huge amount of download and upload traffic that causes network congestion and performance deterioration, even leads to customer dissatisfaction and business loss. As a result, Network managers are eagerly looking for solutions to maintain and protect the performance of their business- and time-critical applications such as web, mail, VoIP and ERP while throttling high bandwidth consumer such as P2P applications. And GenieNPC Network Policy Controller provides answers to those requirements.
Equipped with a state-of-the-art high-performance Network Processing Unit (NPU) and built-in Hardware DPI Accelerator (HDA) and Advanced Flow Tracking (AFT) engines, GenieNPC 5800 can accurately and effortlessly perform traffic classification, packet-level deep packet inspection, real-time traffic statistics exporting, and traffic control and management at layer 2/3/4 and user-application level, such as P2P applications, multimedia streaming applications, and VoIP (H.323, SIP, and Skype) applications.
To offer the network managers and operators an application-level network traffic visualization, GenieNPC has opted for the industry standard NetFlow protocols for exporting real-time traffic statistics to the external traffic analyzers and reports, such as GenieATM for analyzing and producing in-depth traffic reports. From those traffic reports, the network managers and operators are able to fully understand their network conditions, determine the possible network congestions, identify network abuse and anomaly traffic, and then create the most effective network management policies to better manage their network traffics.
