Application Classification and Control

The real-time traffic routing based on specific applications has been a challenge for modern networks due to lack of visibility to application layer information. This limitation has an impact on network indicators and in turn business performance. Additionally, with the internet’s growing prevalence, hybrid work environment and cloud workloads, enterprises want portable applications that can be securely accessed from anywhere.

FatPipe SD-WAN has the ability to carry out transport routing changes based on specific applications in real‐time along with application Quality of Service. The underlying transport infrastructure is abstracted, pooled and assigned to applications, based on software‐defined policies. SD-WAN allows flexibility in connectivity for application steering on heterogeneous hybrid WAN connections.

Technology

  • Application Routing: Define applications using IP addresses, protocols, or source and destination ports.
  • Application-Level Optimization Features: FatPipe SD-WAN offers a wide range of application-level optimization features to enhance performance. These include generic TCP and UDP optimization, application protocol optimization, etc. It also provides application-specific optimization capabilities for FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, QoS, etc.
  • Application based Quality of Service: Mission critical Applications are assigned highest priority for reduction in business losses.
  • Comprehensive Layer 7 Pattern Files Identification: Identification based on protocol/IP/Port and numerous Layer 7 pattern files is carried out, including common applications like email, peer-to-peer applications, video streaming applications, voice, SAP, etc.
  • Custom Application Profiles: Custom application profiles are available using Network Objects or custom applications in app profile and signatures.

Benefits

  • Valuable Insights: The intelligent classification helps network administrators gain valuable insights into application behavior and performance, enabling optimized traffic handling and prioritization.
  • Network-Level Application Identification: By identifying applications at the network level, FatPipe SD-WAN ensures better control, enhancing both user experience and network efficiency.
  • Certificate of Authority: FatPipe SD-WAN has the capability to utilize certification of authority for enhanced security.
  • Bandwidth for Optimal Performance: Classification and prioritization of applications based on business importance ensures critical applications like voice and video conferencing get the bandwidth they need for optimal performance.
  • Reduced Exposure to Security Risks By identifying and controlling traffic down to the application level, FatPipe SD-WAN can block or limit untrusted or non-essential applications, reducing exposure to security risks.
