The Riverbed AppFlow engine ensures that applications get classified based on type The Riverbed HFSC engine schedules applications based on their latency sensitivity A template-driven user interface simplifies the deployment of QoS configuration across the enterprise
Riverbed QoS delivers a unique combination of best-of-breed classification and an advanced, unique scheduling technique based on Hierarchical Fair Service Curves (HFSC) that addresses the need for accurate classification of applications, the allocation of minimum and maximum bandwidths (as other tools do), and the ability to prioritize applications based on their latency sensitivity (which is not possible with most other approaches). Lets look at how the Riverbed classification and QoS engine delivers the maximum performance to customers, delivering a ROI in about six months, on average.
possibly at well-known offsets, or when combined with protocol dissection within specific protocol elements. This could be via regular expression matching and/or byte or string matching. Protocol dissection - This involves having a detailed understanding of the application protocol, and the ability to parse the protocol messages and follow the conversation in order to identify and extract interesting information. Doing so not only ensures accurate classification, but also enables deep contextual sub-classification and protocol attribute extraction. Future flow registration This is the ability to identify and associate a flow that will take place in the future based on a flow that has been identified in the past; it isnt an inspection technique per se, but it is a powerful facilitating tool that ensures accuracy and performance. Behavioral - Behavioral classification relies on the detection of behavioral attributes of the network traffic. The Riverbed engine can utilize packet size, packet inter-arrival time, packet rate, data rate, and entropy calculations in its detection of a behavioral signature for an application. Another behavioral technique involves the contextual understanding of what a particular host has been doing recently, or whom it is or has been communicating with. Decryption / decoding - Some applications utilize encoding, obfuscation, or a simple encryption technique.
Template-driven UI This solution offers simplicity, and the quickest ramp time with respect to QoS policies, by offering built-in policy templates and plug-n-play deployment.
Latency-aware traffic scheduling With this feature traffic can be scheduled for applications based on their sensitivity, thus eliminating jitter and starvation.
Steelhead appliances are also compatible with QoS enforcement on routers and specialized QoS devices, and can apply the state-of-theart QoS enforcement capabilities weve discussed here.
