Traffic 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.

Traffic Shaping limits transmitted traffic to a user-specified average rate by buffering incoming packets.

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.

Features

  • User sets a specified rate

  • Apply different rates to different appliances

  • Data is buffered until the set rate can be met

  • Each service engine can buffer from 3 to 160 million packets, depending on packet size

  • Buffers are shared by all connections using the service

Benefits

  • Extend the life of costly appliances

  • Enable more efficient tool usage

  • Eliminate dropped packets

  • Keep traffic flows at optimum levels

  • Support cybersecurity best practices
