Control, Prioritize, Shape and Optimize WAN Traffic with FatPipe Multiline QoS

In a busy corporate network, imagine a scenario where real-time voice/video and critical business applications contend with routine tasks for bandwidth. This is an unavoidable situation sometimes but it results in stakeholders’ dissatisfaction and business monetary loss. Traffic prioritization resolves this by intelligently assigning priority levels, optimizing data flow, and refining overall network efficiency. FatPipe SD-WAN employs traffic prioritization for assurance that packets are transported from a source to a destination with certain characteristics corresponding to the requirements of the service that the packet flow supports. FatPipe SD-WAN also dynamically routes traffic through the most efficient path and adjusts real-time prioritization.

FatPipe traffic prioritization ensures the user assigns a certain amount of bandwidth to each type of traffic, and it is defined by committed rate (CR) and Burst rate. Committed rate of a traffic type defines the amount of bandwidth guaranteed to be available for that type of traffic at any time the associated link is up. Burst rate is required for QoS and defines the upper limit for bandwidth that can be made available to the traffic type. This helps maintain a fair and efficient use of the company’s Internet resources.

FatPipe Traffic Prioritization using QoS

FatPipe’s traffic prioritization controls the traffic volume entering a network using Quality of Service (QoS) policies. FatPipe QoS also controls incoming network traffic by letting the user limit the rate at which the LAN receives traffic from each WAN link. While this does not help conserve bandwidth, it can help reduce unwanted connection-oriented traffic. The Inbound Policed Rate defines the limit above to which all incoming traffic that it applies will be dropped. FatPipe QoS can classify packets based on the application they belong to. FatPipe QoS can also work with application-specific information regardless of port numbers used by transport protocols. FatPipe SD-WAN also provides the capability of scheduling QoS policies for eg., if the Chairman of Company wants to have company-wide Video Conferencing on a specific date and time in the future, the QoS policies can be configured to give priority to Video traffic on that particular date and time providing peace of mind to network administrators.

Multiline QoS combined with Link Load Balancing

FatPipe’s improved Multi-line QoS technology includes application layer multi-lineQoS (layer 7) in addition to the networking layer where you can assign bandwidth by IP orport (layers 3 and 4). Unlike traditional Multi-line QoS, FatPipe Multi-line QoS is combined with link load balancing, which ensures that rules are applied to additional or secondary lines when a failure occurs to your primary WAN line, providing redundancy for your WAN infrastructure data transmissions.

Catch Up with Rising Intelligence on the WAN Edge

WAN Edge refers to the device deployed at the “edge of the network,” especially at the branches. Till a few years back, these devices were expected to make routing decisions without human intervention, but with the advent of SD-WAN, the Edge devices are gaining much-needed intelligence and also are capable of performing multiple functions. Imagine effortlessly managing your WAN, elevating its performance, fortifying the security, and seamlessly integrating new heterogeneous connections of different technologies – all in one powerful suite of solutions. FatPipe Networks, the inventor and multiple patents holder of SDWAN technology has been at the forefront of making the “Edge” more powerful and intelligent to exponentially enhance the network performance. It provides unique patented technology MPSEC TM to the networking industry which has given a new dimension to Edge Intelligence. It also provides solutions for improving network performance in an existing WAN, simplifying WAN management, or adding and managing additional connections with zero-touch provisioning.

WAN Redundancy with MPSEC TM

FatPipe Multi path security patented technology allows multiple heterogeneous connections to the WAN for seamless aggregation of MPLS, Internet, 4G, leased networks, and satellite networks in one single virtual link with seamless sub-second failover to enhance network SLAs.

Dynamic load balancing on multiple lines 

FatPipe’s dynamic load balancing allows the load to be distributed on a WAN connection according to several algorithms ranging from simple round-robin load balancing to complex load balancing that determines the least number of hops from start to destination.

Multiple Quality of Service

FatPipe technology supports QoS mechanisms that let organizations prioritize specific traffic over others. This will ensure that VoIP calls have priority and the availability needed to be completed.

Data traffic Optimization

The Edge is enabled with multiple WAN Optimization techniques making it more intelligent. FatPipe data compression technology can compress data by up to 8x. FatPipe’s de-duplication technology looks for data duplicates in data sets and eliminates them. By caching local copies of transmitted data, FatPipe technology reduces the strain on network resources.

Hybrid WAN

The Hybrid WAN has the public and private networks working in parallel. We can also have internet-only branches to connect to their HQ or other data centers using an on-site or cloud gateway.

Centralized control and Policy-based management 

FatPipe SD-WAN ensures data security and decision-driven traffic routing through a centralized control function with additional benefits such as application performance, user satisfaction, business efficiency, and reduced operational expenditure. Based on policies, FatPipe manages the configurations and flow of traffic.

Dynamic path selection

FatPipe SD-WAN intelligently prioritizes data and diagnoses existing network conditions to effectively map application traffic to the best-suited route.

Last-mile connectivity

FatPipe SD-WAN devices deployed at each location elevate last-mile connectivity between sites without excessively relying on service partners, as with cloud-based solutions.

Fabric and Flat Networks

While fabric networks facilitate the seamless integration of many components, improve scalability, and enhance overall network performance, flat networks can reduce complexity in WAN environments with a simplified structure. Flat networks can improve data transfer efficiency, lower latency, and simplify management by minimizing the number of network layers.

Intelligent WAN Edge Consolidation 

FatPipe Intelligent WAN Edge consolidation typically involves simplifying management processes, improving network performance, and adding or managing additional connections into a unified and intelligent solution. The objective is to provide a more cohesive and effective approach to managing and optimizing the WAN edge infrastructure.
