Application Awareness Feature Overview and Configuration Guide
Application awareness enhances the network functions of AlliedWare Plus by providing real-time multi-layer classification of network traffic. The DPI engine inspects every packet and accurately identifies today’s most common applications (social networking, P2P, instant messaging, file sharing, streaming, enterprise and web 2.0 applications).
Application awareness enables network functions to operate with dramatically improved accuracy and provide a more human-friendly view of traffic classification than with traditional IP and port-based rules.
This guide describes application awareness in AlliedWare Plus™, and its configuration.
