Among its many upgrades, Carrier Class 4.0 will support three times as many shaping buffers as previous NetEqualizer releases, translating into smoother shaping for installations with up to 40-thousand users.
“Most routers that break out chunks of bandwidth use harsh rate control methods such as dropping packets when the limit is reached,” said Art Reisman, CEO and co-founder of APconnections. “The optimizations and techniques we use shape each customer smoothly without dropping packets, rivaling the quality of carrier-class shapers, yet are priced at one-tenth the list price.”
In addition, the new release will offer the following features: support of URL-based blocking and URL shaping. For example, users will be able to set rate caps for sites such as YouTube and Netflix without the invasiveness of layer-7 shaping. APconnections’ URL-based shaping will also allow customers to add new sites without paying expensive upgrade fees.
The NetEqualizer is a plug-and-play bandwidth control and WAN/Internet optimization appliance that is flexible and scalable. When the network is congested, NetEqualizer’s unique “behavior shaping” technology gives priority to latency-sensitive applications, such as VoIP and email. It does it all dynamically and automatically, improving on other bandwidth shaping technology available. It controls network flow for the best WAN optimization.
