Facilitates Seamless and Transparent IP-Flow Based Internet Traffic Management of IPv6 Devivces
March 15, 2011 — Sunnyvale, Calif. — Anagran, Inc., the leader in IP flow-based Internet traffic management solutions, today announced immediate availability of IPv6 support on its FR-1000 Internet traffic manager. Network operators of all types can now seamlessly and transparently implement IP flow-based traffic control as they migrate from IPv4 to IPv6 networks.
“IP flow-based traffic management is quickly becoming the preferred method of minimizing network congestion, improving users Internet quality of experience (QoE), and ensuring fair and equitable usage ,” said Tim Waters, Vice President of Marketing for Anagran, Inc. “With the near exhaustion of IPv4 addresses and the migration to IPv6-enabled networks, it was critically important to ensure transparent support of either protocol on our industry leading FR-1000 Internet traffic manager, enabling our customers to continue to leverage the full benefits of IP flow-based traffic management for any connected device.”
Anagran’s FR-1000 IPv6 support enables native classification and control of all IPv6 flows on “bump in the wire” (BITW) links. The FR-1000 provides full feature parity with its current IPv4 BITW implementation, supporting flow classification, control, prioritization, delivery and management, as well as host (subscriber/user) equalization and behavioral recognition.
Designed to significantly improve operators’ network utilization, deliver tiered subscriber solutions and improve the users quality of experience (QoE), Anagran’s FR-1000 is an advanced Internet traffic manager (ITM) that allows service providers of all types to reduce the cost of network capacity and increase usable bandwidth. The FR-1000 creates a more efficient, deterministic network environment and can be deployed in existing multi-vendor networks to ensure that “quality sensitive” applications such as over-the-top (OTT) video, on-line gaming, and voice over IP (VoIP) receive sufficient bandwidth to deliver the quality that broadband subscribers expect. Furthermore, the FR-1000 can be used to mitigate the bandwidth consumed by aggressive peer-to-peer file sharing applications, thereby minimizing their impact on other users.About Anagran, Inc.
