iBoss PacketStreamer delivers control, and visibility of network traffic. Flexible policies can be applied to throttle non critical traffic during peak hours while insuring network critical access is retained. Real time bandwidth logs and comprehensive data reports, IT can identify area of bandwidth usage. Advanced controls allow polices to be set by predefined categories, domain, IP, or TCP/UDP and applied to different groups providing simple management.

Shaping - Guarantee bandwidth for key latency-sensitive applications while controlling recreational applications.
MRTG Reporting - Gain instant insight on current bandwidth usage including real time top bandwidth consumers, web hit activity, and URL accesses.
Detailed Bandwidth Logs - Provides drill down information on upstream, downstream, total bandwidth by user, groups, IP, Mac.
Simple Management - Flexible options allow control of network activity:
                - Choose from over 60 predefined categories (i.e. audio/video, games)
                - Domain, IP, or TCP/UDP.
                - Granular control allows applying policies to Active Directory/EDirectory users or groups.

The iBoss has an advanced QoS engine enabling throttling of bandwidth based on user, group, domain or website category. Where traditional QoS use simple IP headers and TCP/UDP ports, the iBoss qualifies the type of stream and applies the QoS rule based on its type. This results in the iBoss having the ability to discriminate traffic and selectively throttle even if the traffic is using the same ports as non-throttled traffic.

Recover Bandwidth from Audio & Video Sites

Throttling allows you to recover lost bandwidth used on audio and video sites without having to completely block out audio and video sites altogether. Set a maximum amount of bandwidth that is reasonable to these sites based on total bandwidth available to other applications.
