In VoIP traffic tests of 100 concurrent calls, LinkProof maintained


100% of VoIP connections when a simulated WAN outage automatically


switched calls to a secondary WAN link


-- LinkProof is able to automatically reroute current VoIP calls using


preset thresholds to maintain the highest quality available


-- LinkProof provides bandwidth optimization and load balancing for VoIP


data traffic


-- LinkProof features a large assortment of settable and tailorable QoS


policies for health monitoring of VoIP and data traffic


-- LinkProof includes Intrusion Prevention System capabilities for


Intrusions, DoS attacks, etc.


Radware's approach, which is based on proprietary Radware technology, gives maximum visibility into both latency and the path of network traffic, ensuring network managers combine the power of link load balancing with granular bandwidth management for control of application performance across multiple links.


"We're very pleased that the results of this independent test verified what we've known all along about the critical site-to-site connectivity role that LinkProof plays in our APSolute suite of integrated application delivery products," said Paul Fiore, senior director, partner programs, Radware. "We engineered LinkProof to be the primary multi-wan switch needed for health monitoring, load balancing and bandwidth optimization. With LinkProof, enterprise customers can ensure the reliability, efficiency, cost- effectiveness, and security of their VoIP deployments by augmenting traditional POTS failover features, appropriately routing high-priority traffic, eliminating call self-termination due to latency or jitter, and providing protection against DoS and other attacks."


Test Methodology


The Miercom test consisted of two simulated sites: a headquarters and a remote branch site, connected by a primary IP WAN link and a load balancing or secondary link. The network infrastructure at both sites consisted of Extreme Networks Summit48 L2/L3 switch/routers, a LinkProof 1000 switch, a WinSIP and a WINH323 VoIP traffic generator.


A group of 100 G-711 ULAW simulated VoIP calls were generated and maintained from the headquarters side by Touchstone Technologies WinSIP ver. 2.4.8 and a WinH323 ver. 1.4.4 VoIP traffic generator through the LinkProof to the remote branch for two minutes, then continually re-established for a total of two hours each.


After verifying all of the VoIP session was established, a standard ping test was initiated to the primary link on the remote LinkProof. The primary IP link was physically removed from the LinkProof and the loss of connection was verified by the ping test. For consistency, all SIP and H323 calls from the headquarters had to traverse the LinkProof 1000s primary gigabit IP links and terminate to the WinSIP and WinH323 generators at the remote branch site. This was verified by an IP address using the command line interface on the LinkProof 1000.
