Behavioral Traffic Control™

By maintaining awareness and insight into all flows passing through it, Anagran's FR-1000 manages diverse traffic profiles in a way that best matches the network's established policies for service delivery and quality. Anagran's Behavioral Traffic Control™ (BTC) enabled Internet traffic managers (ITMs) optimally managing all traffic by flow class at the most efficient, cost-effective points in the network, consistent with accepted network management bandwitdh utilization policies.

BTC monitors every flow, constantly comparing each flow's behavior over time against a simple set of operator-defined rules. BTC can identify flows that, by virtue of their duration, byte count, source/destination, or other criteria, require some form of policy management, executed in a fair, equitable, and balanced mannner.

Given the enormous growth of real-time quality sensitive traffic, as well as P2P and other forms of high-volume user-to-user traffic primarily in the form of video sharing, the value of BTC becomes clear. For the first time, network operators have the ability to optimally and fairly manage all traffic in real time by class, regardless of the traffic mix. Since the FR-1000 is a wire-speed 96 Gbps device, Anagran's ITM network utilization control is achieved at unparalleled levels of throughput and consistently low latency for all traffic. And unlike common traffic control mechanisms, BTC does not halt or eliminate any traffic types, it merely manages the entire traffic mix to allow all forms of network traffic to co-exist.
