Allot Communications Net. Reality™ Product Overview

Net. Reality overview Net. Reality controls the assignment of bandwidth, ensuring delivery of critical applications Dedicated monitoring and traffic shaping device with central management software Integrated software & hardware solution WAN based or LAN based multi service platform – one device, multiple functions: 7 -layer real time and historical monitoring, traffic shaping, SLM, CSU/DSU functionality, Accounting, Security, Vo. IP management 2

Net. Reality overview Without Net. Reality: Bandwidth is used inefficiently, creating uneven traffic flow, and dropped packets. Business suffers while non-critical applications crowd out critical ones. With Net. Reality: Assignment of bandwidth is controlled, ensuring delivery of critical applications 3

Key Principles Behind Net. Reality The WAN edge is the site of critical network application exposure – the bottleneck. Net. Reality WAN based platform protects the site of greatest bandwidth constriction scalable architecture: The Net. Reality system uses a central monitoring and policy management system with distributed remote devices, performing as both probes and shaping policy execution points User friendly, point & click, JAVA based Graphical User Interface 4

Net. Reality System Architecture The Net. Reality system is comprised of three basic modules: Net. Reality Wise. Wan Devices Net. Reality Server and Database - Central management server built on top of an industry standard SQL database Net. Reality Console (GUI) 5

Net. Reality Wise. Wan The Wise. Wan is a dedicated hardware device located on the WAN edge. It functions as a Qo. S Policy Execution Point, manipulating the traffic on the link to conform to the corporate policies In addition the Wise. Wan functions as a remote probe monitoring traffic at all 7 layers The Wise. Wan Classifies more than 700 applications and protocols and performs deep packet inspection classification based on content 11

Net. Reality Wise. Wan The Wise. Wan is a powerful network device, with multiple CPU architecture Based on an industry standard real time operating system - VXworks Remote management of the unit is done through the standard Wan. Xplorer console Supports telnet, SNMP and FTP version download for maintenance 12

Net. Reality Wise. Wan The Wise. Wan is an SNMP agent: Generates standard traps to alarm on events in the network RMON 2, MIB 2, FR-MIB and other standards compliant (Concord support) compressed statistics are transmitted to the Wan. Xplorer database using SNMP with a private MIB – reducing the telemetry overhead up to 5% of typical RMON 2 solutions 2 management connection options: 10/100 Ethernet side-band IP connection 10/100 Ethernet or on-the-WAN in-band IP connection 13

Net. Reality Wise. Wan Multiple WAN & LAN Interfaces: Low speed serial lines – up to 12 mbps (V. 35, X. 21, X. 24, RS 232, EIA 530, RS 449) High Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) – up to 52 mbps Native DS 1 E 1/T 1 lines – 4 wire (BNC, RJ 48, DB 15) CSU/DSU Model (DS 1 and Serial) Channellized T 1/E 1 10/100 Base. T Ethernet 14

Wise. Cable The Wise. Wan Wise. Cable is an intelligent cable that bypasses any power failure or hardware breakdown. In such an event, the Wise. Cable ensures that the data continues to flow on the line by detaching the Wise. Wan from the network as soon as a breakdown occurs. The network continues to operate smoothly until Wise. Wan is operational again. 15

Net. Reality Server Central management software running on Sun/Solaris 2. 51, 2. 6, 2. 7, 2. 8 or MS Windows NT 4. 0 or Windows 2000 using an industry standard SQL database – Sybase is included and embedded in the product Enables easy integration with third party applications The database is self-managed; therefore database system administrator intervention is not required – it will perform automatic database management, backup, data aging and purging This integrated database extensively and periodically polls the Wise. Wan NAPSs it manages, and inserts the information into the database 23

Net. Reality Server Wan. Xplorer features include: Management of multiple NAPSs from one central location Integration with leading management platforms, such as HPOV and Cisco. Works Acts as the Policy Server (PDP) for the Wise. Wan devices – The servers is a central data repository for the system - statistics, configuration, shaping policies Allows distributed deployment across multiple server to enhance performance and scalability 24

Net. Reality Monitoring Measuring the real bandwidth on the WAN The available bandwidth on public networks varies continuously, and may be below, at, or above the bandwidth the carrier agreed to deliver (in Frame. Relay - the CIR) The Wise. Wan can analyze the circuit performance and report back to the user Real time monitoring and analysis for troubleshooting purposes Long term storage of all monitoring data for History analysis and capacity planning 27

Classification and Prioritization Shaping policies are configured by the user using a point and click central policy console, and then distributed to the Wise. Wans use advanced protocol and application decoding to classify the traffic in wire speed and determine if shaping is necessary Traffic to be shaped will be queued by priorities Wise. Wan releases the frames back at line speed, but different order -according to policy Low priority sessions will be delayed and slowed down, high priority sessions will be accelerated 40

Traffic Classification Applications and Protocol Support for more than 700 protocols and applications, including recognition of some applications using dynamic ports, user defined applications, and application header information – Citrix Published apps, Oracle information, HTTP URL and MIME type Direction Server and Client Host Source and destination: Hosts, networks, IP subnets and user groups, by defining their IP or IPX address Schedule Time of day, day of week Circuit Line or DLCI that the policy needs to be applied on 41

Wise. Wan Policy 42

Traffic Shaping Traffic shaping actions: Prioritization - the priority level of the rule by using the 6 level slider. The range is: Pass through, High, Medium, Low, and Block. Pass through allows data to be transmitted with highest priority with no constraints. Block prevents all data from being transmitted Bandwidth guarantee - minimum amount of bandwidth that this conversation/class should be guaranteed to Bandwidth limit - maximum amount of bandwidth consumption that you want this conversation/class to consume Diff. Serv Tagging – overwrite the Diff. Serv tag with a custom tag based on it’s calssification 43

Wise. Wan Bandwidth Policy Editor 44

Shaping Per PVC The Shaping Per PVC functionality allows Wise. Wan to guarantee bandwidth for congested PVCs regardless of the overall line congestion All Wise. Wan NAPS systems are defined by default for shaping per PVC. How Shaping Works - The user defines the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and the Maximum Information Rate (MIR) for each DLCI Shaping is triggered when traffic utilization on the PVC reaches ~85% of the MIR, and shaping stops when utilization drops below 60% Limits always work 45
