Evaluates available bandwidth 100 times per second

Shapes individual and aggregate traffic based on current conditions, immediately and non-intrusively

Shapes traffic for up to 50,000 managed objects - gateways, subnets, groups, and individual subscribers - by IP address

Enables a variety of allocation schemes (guaranteed, preferred, equitable) for distributing bandwidth across all subscribers during both normal and congested conditions

Protects against aggressive users by allowing additional rate limits based on usage

Manages inbound/outbound traffic separately at each network point

Supports multi-homed and half-duplex networks

Solutions available to manage bandwidth from 1 Kbps to 155 Mbps

Eliminates the need to provision bandwidth to peak demands

Greatly improves bandwidth utilization by allowing more subscribers to be added to the network without provisioning additional bandwidth

Controls aggressive users and guarantees that no user is "starved" for bandwidth

Minimizes network congestion, reduces packet loss, and eliminates congestion-related outages

Guarantees the delivery of more consistent, reliable service to subscribers, improving customer satisfaction and reducing churn

Enables providers to fulfill Service Level Agreements

Enables the simplified management of multiple access services (i.e., narrowband and broadband wireline, wireless, satellite, and cable) from a single, easy-to-use graphical interface

Defines and manages unlimited service levels according to multiple configurable parameters

Parameters include rate limits, access priorities, time-of-day controls, and controls for aggressive usage

Enables service providers to generate substantially more revenue from a wide range of innovative service levels without purchasing additional bandwidth

Provides data on subscriber usage patterns for service up-sell opportunities

Significantly reduces the time required to administer service levels manually through multiple interfaces

Maintains a 24-hour moving window of performance data

Displays data down to the subscriber level for the latest 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 24 hours

Shows average and peak consumption and percentage of transfer time affected by congestion

Stores statistics in an SQL database for historical analysis

Provides new visibility into the network to improve service management

Monitors in real-time who is consuming bandwidth, at what rate, and when

Provides real-time 'Top 10' reports based on up-to-the-second performance criteria

Provides historical reports to support capacity planning, timely provisioning, usage-based billing, and customer and technical services

Discovers network topology and displays it in a familiar tree structure

Automatically discovers new subscribers and places them in the appropriate location in the topology tree

Resolves subscriber names using DNS, RADIUS, or LDAP

Intelligently assigns policies for governing autodiscovered points in the topology

Simplifies and automates configuration and administration, reducing operational complexities

Allows fewer technicians to provision and maintain the network

Virtually eliminates manual configuration

Allows network managers to audit their customers' IP address space utilization

Automatically transfers control to "hot" standby system upon hardware/software failure, with continuation of traffic shaping and statistical recording

Protects against a single point of failure in the network

Guarantees continuity of traffic shaping and archiving of performance data

Provides access to essential operational status information via industry-standard network management protocol

Provides compatibility with existing network platforms

Works with existing OSS infrastructure; no need to buy additional network management platforms
