VPN Loading Balancing

Released on = December 5, 2006, 4:30 am

Press Release Author = Mark Henry

Industry = Internet & Online

Press Release Summary = Virtual Private Networks form a major part of many
organisations\' network infrastructure. They are often used as a vehicle to serve
sensitive information to remote offices and workers. Typically VPN\'s are created
point-to-point making it difficult to add any resilience or more bandwidth.
Introducing our products to this infrastructure makes this possible, whether you are
implementing new or expanding existing VPN infrastructure.


Press Release Body = Overview :
Virtual Private Networks form a major part of many organisations\' network
infrastructure. They are often used as a vehicle to serve sensitive information to
remote offices and workers. Typically VPN\'s are created point-to-point making it
difficult to add any resilience or more bandwidth. Introducing our products to this
infrastructure makes this possible, whether you are implementing new or expanding
existing VPN infrastructure.

Drawbacks of existing technology:
Single Point of Failure
Traditional VPN\'s both client and site-to-site are based upon a single Internet
link. Should this link fail, organisations invariably have no fall-back plan, and
simply have to diagnose, report and wait.

Difficult to Scale
Should an organisation require more bandwidth to accomadate increasing demand, this
is often proves difficult and is some cases impossible. This could mean expensive
upgrades, change of ISP and most likely their complete Internet infrastructure.

Restricted Upload Speed of DSL connections
SME\'s generally use DSL to serve their VPN connections. This can cause considerable
bottlenecks and can prevent service being offered to clients should demand outgrow
the supply.
Difficult to Prioritise Critical Data
Maintaining a single link increases the chance that bandwidth intensive services can
saturate the entire amount of bandwidth and this can lead to loss of data and denial
of important transmissions such as E-Mail and Web Services. Introducing a Load
Balancing device into the network makes it possible segregate and route traffic
based on priority. Furthermore all our Load Balancing products such Quality of
Service (QoS) which can be used to limit these intensive applications in order to
guarantee the avability to the critical ones.

Traffic Distribution and Failover:
Traffic distribution is done \"by packet\" and so a single data connection can assume
all the available bandwidth. This could be a Voice Over IP call over
Teleconferencing.

Should any active links fail, data is simply retransmitted down available links with
no impact to the client.

Traffic distribution is done \"by connection\", so protocol\'s that use multiple
connections (such as HTTP) have greater benefit with this method www.xrio.com.

On link failure connections related to the failed link will be lost, however most
applications will retry the connection, in which case the Load Balancer will route
the new connection down an available link
