PRX-10G is a carrier-grade Traffic Manager, that scales up to 75 gigabits per
second and is based on the IBM BladeCenter® technology. Up to six fully loaded Gigabit
Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet links can be managed in a single chassis, where up to
twelve load-balancing blades share the traffic load.
The built-in high availability
with automatic hardware fail-over ensures uninterrupted network connectivity in case
of a blade failure. With the optional NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System)
compliance, the
PRX-10G can be installed in provider networks with particularly
strict requirements on their infrastructures.
Key Features
- 75 Gbit/s and 10 million packets/s throughput
- 6 Gigabit Ethernet or 10-Gigabit Ethernet links
- 240 million concurrent flows
- 6 million subscribers
- Blade-based load balancing with full redundancy
- Optional NEBS compliance
- Optional flow-based subscriber reporting
Tested by EANTC 2009
ipoque participated with its carrier-grade
PRX-10G Traffic Manager in a multi-vendor test of deep packet inspection bandwidth management solutions. The test confirms the high accuracy of the protocol detection and the industry-leading performance at data rates of up to 75 Gbit/s. It was conducted by the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) in January 2009.
ipoque shares the first place with another vendor of traffic management equipment. Out of 15 companies invited to the test, only three participated and published their results.
Test Results at a Glance
- Throughput of up to 75 Gbit/s
- 99% detection and regulation accuracy for all popular P2P protocols
- 100% compliance in P2P blocking test
- Encryption and VLAN tags have no effect on detection and regulation accuracy
- Linear scalability with additional packet processing blades
- Zero packet loss at test bed limit of 60 Gbit/s with 12 out of 14 packet processing blades
