Virtual Equalizing, now you can make a single NetEqualizer do the work of several units without buying additional hardware.

If you are not familiar with the concept of equalizing here is a quick review.

Equalizing is new technology that automatically re-distributes bandwidth allocations among users when trunk is congested, thus preventing brownouts and down time.

  • The NetEqualizer constantly monitors the total current trunk usage and when it exceeds a threshold, built in logic kicks in and temporarily slows down heavy users based on
    • How persistent is their connection (how long has it been up)
    • Usage over the last few seconds
    • Total usage since it has been up
    • How do they compare to everyone else right now
    • Operates at the connection level specified
  • A generation a-head of basic rate limiting, NetEqualizer is in use at over 500 commercial installations around the world providing a big competitive advantage.
  • One unit in line can control traffic in both directions

Virtual Equalizing: how it works.

Prior to the Virtual NetEqualizer release, customers were required to have one NetEqualizer on every internet trunk where congestion might occur.   Now customers can group their users into logical trunks by IP address and apply the same technology to each logical group. It is best described with a practical scenario:

Suppose you are a wireless ISP with an internet back bone of 45 megabits distributed to 4 remote tower sites. Each tower site is served by back haul link that can deliver 4 megabits of bandwidth. If you do the math, it is not hard to determine that your bandwidth bottle neck is on the backhaul links, and not the main back bone to your upstream provider.

In this case a single NetEqualizer can be deployed to alleviate congestion problems on all four back haul links. You simply tell the NetEqualizer what IP addresses are on each backhaul link. That’s really all there is to it. As a bonus you will also get priority and QOS services allowing you to run VOIP or other priority services on your backhauls without service interruption.

The diagram below depicts the topology used to service wired apartment buildings. Each set of IP addresses serving an apartment building can be equalized independently to prevent brownouts or downtime using just one centralized NetEqualizer. Assume your internet upstream provider is a full 10Mbps, but the connection to each building is limited to a T1 (1.5Mbps)

 

 

The new NetEqualizer Virtual Equalizing feature allows a single NetEqualizer to do the work of several without buying additional hardware. Now you can group users into logical trunks by IP address and apply the same equalizing technology to each logical group. NetEqualizer continues to bring significant advantages to your network and to your users.
