Peer Director. (Security).Peer Director, is designed to improve Internet performance through intelligent traffic management. The product is aimed at companies with multi-homed networks that utilize Border Gateway Protocol Border Gateway Protocol - (BGP) An Exterior Gateway Protocol defined in RFC 1267 and RFC 1268. Its design is based on experience gained with Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), as defined in STD 18, RFC 904 and EGP usage in the NSFNet backbone, as described in RFCs 1092 and 1093. (BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) The routing protocol that is used to span autonomous systems on the Internet. It is a robust, sophisticated and scalable protocol that was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). ), notably ISPS ISPS - Instruction Set Processor Specifications. Operational hardware specification language. Successor to ISPL. ["Instruction Set Processor Specifications", M.R. Barbacci et al, IEEE Trans Computers, C-30(1):24-80 (Jan 1981)]. , ASPs and financial organisations. Peer Director collects and analyses real time statistics associated with Internet traffic carried on multiple links. Based on these statistics and in conjunction with customisable user-defined policies, the device then redistributes and optimises traffic loads between links via multiple sophisticated load balancing algorithms. The product automatically achieves link optimisation by redirecting users to the healthiest link, avoiding traffic congestion The condition of a network when there is not enough bandwidth to support the current traffic load. congestion - When the offered load of a data communication path exceeds the capacity. that often plagues BGP routing schemes. www.radware.com |
