Managing WAN Links
WANJet enables you to define IT service policies and application Quality of Service (QoS)
policies for your various applications, and apply them to optimally allocate bandwidth. An IT
service policy specifies a named group of ports, machines, and subnets. When you define an
application QoS policy, you can specify an IT service group, in addition to specifying the
bandwidth you want to allocate to particular applications, such as:
•
mission-critical applications
•
video and voice streaming
•
interactive video or voice
•
data transfers
•
web-based applications
These different classes of applications have very different network requirements. The
challenge is to align the network services to the application’s requirements from a performance
perspective.
