Network Monitoring - Traffic Shaping Engine for NetWare

Description

Traffic Shaping Engine (TSE) 3.2.0 NLM runs on NetWare 4.xx, 5.x, and 6.x servers to manage server bandwidth and provide traffic shaping capabilities to the NetWare OS. The TSE operates at wire speed to actively manage bandwidth and cures many of LAN/ WAN/Internet bandwidth problems — including excessive file downloads — by allowing you to limit, prioritize, reserve, monitor, and audit bandwidth consumption.


The TSE manages traffic passing through or generated by the server, and manages the traffic of BorderManager, GroupWise, Web servers, or any other NetWare base services. The TSE is rule based and can perform complex tasks including creation of "penalty boxes" for workstations / users who send virus related traffic or use excessive amounts of bandwidth. The TSE also serves as a powerful filtering tool to perform filtering too complex for IPFLT.


The TSE features DiffServ/TOS tagging, Priority Queuing, Filtering, Rate Limiting, Threshold driven Rates, Auditing, Packet Capture, and more. The TSE can manage the individual data streams of workstation, TCP connection, sites, networks, or any other arbitrary criteria, applying arbitrary data rates to each.


The TSE can monitor, audit, and capture traffic, dynamically maintaining lists of active connections — again based on arbitrary criteria. These lists can be tested by rules, or used by the audit process to record a history of actual bandwidth usage. The TSEs connection list import/export allows connection tables to be saved, edited and loaded dynamically to impose custom bandwidth limits for hundreds/ thousands of workstations, etc.


These files can be modified by hand, or generated by Perl/Java/Novell Script, providing a way to create custom CGI/Web-based management interfaces for the TSE. The TSE scales to assign individual rates to 1,000,000 simultaneous TCP connections, handles more than 60,000 packets per second, and is ideal for managing LAN as well as WAN/Internet bandwidth.


The Traffic Shaping Engine can be used to manage both Internet and LAN bandwidth, IPX and IP traffic, and apply data rates to up to 8,000,000 simultaneous connections. It is also a verastile toolkit to perform complex filtering, programmable packet capture, and even create "penalty boxes" for workstations sending prohibited traffic. The Traffic Shaping Engine requires very little memory and imposes negligible overhead. This traffic shaper can be used on older servers and even the slowest Pentium is capable of managing >> T1 speed connections. A simple, efficient bandwidth management solution for Novell shops. The TSE is also a great add-on for Novell Small Business Suite.


TSE 3.2 offers the following valuable capabilities:


* Rule based filtering, forwarding, auditing, capture and rate shaping of IP or IPX traffic
* Limit total bandwidth in / out of an interface, network, IP address range, or any complex criteria
* Apply data rates to specific types of traffic based on UDP or TCP port ranges
* Implement priority queuing to optimize WAN / ISP usage
* Apply DiffServ / TOS tags for IP traffic, integrating NetWare with DiffServ capable routers / switches
* Use inbound DiffServ / TOS to prioritize traffic
* Limit total concurrent connections to a given host, network, UDP or TCP port
* Apply connection or workstation oriented rates and quotas
* Use tables to implement quotas or apply rates to arbitrary lists of ports, addresses, networks
* Apply fixed and variable latency for WAN / satWAN emulation
* Monitor and log usage with the Connection Audit feature
* Works with Border Manager, NIAS, Web Servers, and any other NetWare based service
* Scales to a million simultaneous connections, really.
* Still the worlds fastest software based solution, and the ONLY solution that runs on NetWare
* Can be packaged into the worlds smallest 3 interface traffic using single board computers
* Identifies NDS objects for audit logs and web status when using MAC2USER
* Packet Capture compatible with Ethereal Ethereal Protocol Analyzer
* Flexible and programmable Advanced Queue Management ( AQM ) features
* TSE API programming interface for 3rd party developers - In Progress.
* TSE Event Callback System for Developers - In Progress.
* Improved Stochastic Priority Queue processes more packets quicker
* Per Connection Actions. Each flow can be programmed to take any rule action.
* QoS Sharing Between Multiple Connections with Aging
* Improved Web Status Page
* Fixes to numerous minor issues from previous releases
* Full SMP support under Netware 4.2 and higher
* Tested with > 8,000,000 simultaneous connection entries
