Introduction to Traffic Engineering Server

Internet Gateway Router, Bandwidth Manager, Firewall and Traffic Monitor

Traffic Engineering Server (TES) is Internet Gateway Router with powerful and easy-to-use Bandwidth Management, Quality of Service, Security, Acceleration, Monitoring and Filtering features. TES solutions are especially suitable for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), Broadband and Wireless Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

Providing tools to control, analyze, measure and filter TCP/IP traffic, TES helps to share Internet/WAN connection in highly efficient and optimized way increasing LAN performance, security and manageability. Implementation of TES makes it possible to eliminate wide range of throughput bottleneck problems, save expensive Internet bandwidth and thus to increase WAN link utilization efficiency.

Traffic Engineering Server is based on self-dependent Linux operating system. Therefore it is possible to convert almost any hardware server into full featured Internet Gateway/Router. Moreover, advanced tools inline with HTML Graphical Management Interface make complex bandwidth management tasks as easy as possible, even for operators with little networking experience and skills.

Below are some of key features and capabilities that are brought by TES:

• Bandwidth Management: Hard and Burstable Traffic Shaping on Rx and Tx (bi-directional), Smart Throttle Engine, Customizable Bandwidth Allocation Groups, Bandwidth Management by IP hosts' addresses
• Quality of Service: 8 Customizable QoS Priority Levels, Layer 7 QoS, VoIP/P2P QoS capabilities, Inbound and Outbound QoS
• Transparent Web Cache and Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP)
• Application Level (Layer7 or L7) Packet Inspection for QoS and Filtering
• Web Activity Monitoring, Detailed Traffic Reports, Pie Charts
• Integrated Semiautomatic Firewall, Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS), IP and/or MAC Filtering
• Routing, Advanced Network Address Translation (NAT), Complete DHCP, Port Forwarding
• Intelligent HTML Graphical Management Interface, Remote/Local Console Access
• One Button Backup/Restore, Backups Download/Upload, Adjustable Ethernet Settings
• Automatic Updates, Daily Email Reporting, Fail-safe Operation and more...

Commercialy TES is available TES Software Only Solution and as standalone bandwidth management appliance TES-1000 Hardware Solution. The former is to be deployed on customer's hardware allowing to vary performance of traffic engineering and also to reduce the costs. The latter is based on highly reliable server covered by 1U rack-mountable form factor case and comes with the full range of traffic engineering functionality.
