Explore FeaturesTraffic Shaping
Protecting your high-value security and performance monitoring equipment is vital for long-term cost management. With the Traffic Shaping feature (sometimes generically referred to as "rate limiting") of IntellaView’s HyperEngine, traffic can be limited to a user-specified average rate by buffering packets that exceed that rate. The buffered data is released at a steady, even flow so it remains at or below the target bandwidth of the appliance to avoid tool oversubscription.
assign your tools the proper bandwidth
Maintain optimum traffic flow
Traffic Shaping is a tool-saving practice when certain appliances are not designed to handle traffic above a specific rate for extended periods.
- Tools typically have minimal buffer space, so packets are dropped quickly if a tool is bombarded with more traffic than it can handle.
- Without Traffic Shaping, a tool may become overwhelmed and be unable to properly perform its functions.
Each HyperEngine service engine can buffer from 3 to 160 million packets, depending on packet size, shared across all connections to ensure your existing tools are never overburdened or oversubscribed — even as throughput increases.
