ADVANCED NETWORK POLICIES FOR SECURE AND CONVERGED NETWORKS
Advanced network policies ensure that users and applications get the priority and performance they
need with ease of use management that extends across the enterprise. The OS9000s feature state-of-
the-art ASIC-based technology for intelligent, wire-speed everything including switching, routing,
ACLs, QoS, traffic redirection and load balancing.
The OS9000s provide application
aware switching for layers 2, 3, and
4 and the most advanced
classification, prioritization, and
queuing schemes in the industry. It
also supports industry classification
standards including 802.1Q/p, TOS,
and DiffServ, and is enhanced with
complementary features such as
extensive QoS mappings and re-
tagging of prioritization. And, the
OS9000s don’t require additional
hardware or specialized software to
operate at wire-speed – from the
first packet!
