SmoothTraffic

Few networks have sufficient Internet bandwidth to always be able to meet peak demand, which results in inconsistent performance, user frustration and reduced productivity. SmoothTraffic is an effective and simple to use solution for networks of all sizes, that ensures optimum bandwidth utilization is maintained at all times.

  Prioritize Inbound & Outbound Traffic:
A single file download can consume almost the entire capacity of a typical DSL or leased line Internet connection. Unless interactive traffic (such as web browsing, VoIP, or SSH sessions) is given priority over heavy continuous traffic (e.g. file transfers, downloads and audio/video streaming), performance will deteriorate during peak periods. SmoothTraffic allows a flexible approach, prioritizing important traffic based on protocols, policy (User group membership), IP address or Differentiated Services (DSCP) packet marking.

  Optimize and limit bandwidth utilization:
Large file downloads, transfers and back-ups can be slowed to prevent them monopolizing the downstream bandwidth. Limit bandwidth utilization by protocol, IP or network address to ensure all servers get at least a minimum proportion of the available bandwidth in a server hosting environment. SmoothTraffic also allows low priority traffic to utilize spare bandwidth capacity until it is needed by more important traffic.

  Enhanced VoIP support:
Guaranteed call quality every time. SmoothTraffic works with your SIP proxy to automatically mark high priority VoIP traffic for 'expedited forwarding', through your ISP.

  Throttle unanticipated traffic:
Make sure unanticipated network services don't impact upon regular network traffic by setting them to run slowly, with minimal bandwidth.
