Real Time Application Control Classes of Service
A New Opportunity for Service Providers
Service Providers face increasing pressure to offer high-value services that can be provided reliably and consistently. As enterprise customers continue to introduce applications over their WAN, they become increasingly concerned about whether application, and in particular, mission-critical application, performance can be maintained and optimised.
Each application has its own performance criteria. For example, transactional applications such as ERP systems exchange little data but are very sensitive to transfer delays, real-time flows such as VoIP require low jitter, and file transfers such as e-mail and FTP traffic are usually less critical and not delay sensitive but they require high levels of bandwidth.
