Packeteer “shapes” traffic by controlling how applications use network bandwidth. Learn how this can help you.
!http://bestnetworksecurity.com/images/shaping.gif(Packeteer Shaping)!Packeteer shapes traffic by allowing you to set guaranteed rates for important applications such as Citrix. You can also limit amount of bandwidth of recreational traffic. Packeteer is application-aware, meaning you can control traffic based on the application rather than solely on network based information such as port, IP, or protocol.
Shaping protects mission-critical traffic
Say you have a latency sensitive Citrix or database application that you use across a WAN. This traffic is competing against “bursty” protocols like HTTP, SMTP and FTP. In minutes, you can set a policy that guarantees the minimum required bandwidth for your latency-sensitive traffic – and the problem is solved.
Shaping limits recreational traffic
If you want to ensure that recreational traffic like file-sharing or streaming media takes a back seat to your business applications, you can easily group all of this traffic into a partition – a virtual pipe – and set a cap on the amount of bandwidth that group of applications receives. Problem solved.
