PRX Traffic Manager

PRX Traffic Manager detects applications with a combination of layer-7 deep packet inspection (DPI) and behavioral traffic analysis. All major protocols including peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P), instant messaging (IM), media streaming and Internet telephony (VoIP) are supported. The integrated quality of service (QoS) management allows prioritization, shaping and blocking of classified traffic. Extensive accounting features provide in-depth application- and subscriber-aware network visibility.

PACE (Protocol and Application Classification Engine) is the heart of ipoque´s PRX Traffic Manager. Regular signature updates guarantee reliable detection of proprietary, obfuscated and encrypted protocols.

Application Scenarios

PRX Traffic Manager provides wireline providers, universities and mobile operators comprehensive and detailed insight into the network´s per-application and per-user traffic based on the latest deep packet inspection technology. This information can be used to define bandwidth management rules to prioritize, shape, block and log traffic of individual applications either in total or for individual users or user groups.

Operators can offer tiered network service and pricing models along with flexible and fair bandwidth allocation. Premium applications can be prioritized and bandwidth-intensive P2P or streaming applications can be limited.

PRX Traffic Manager provides a unique whitelisting feature for Bit-Torrent trackers to allow providers to offer legal P2P services with no copyright infringements.

Deployment

PRX Traffic Manager operates as a transparent bridge for seamless integration into existing network environments. The web-based graphical user interface allows simple configuration.
