Introduction
The SmartShare
®
is an integrated bandwidth manager and NAT router with built-
in DHCP server and optional anti terror logger. The SmartShare can supplement an
existing Internet router or replace a traditional NAT router.
Key Features
Bandwidth Manager with User Load Balancing and Dynamic QOS. The patent
pending SmartShare bandwidth management technology automatically monitors and
manages the Internet connection, so every active user on the local network gets a fair
amount of the shared Internet bandwidth, and ensures that the Internet connection
always is available for all users on the local network. It also optimizes the use of
bandwidth, so the Internet connection can be fully utilized, regardless of the number
of active users – if only one user is active, that one user gets all the bandwidth. The
Dynamic Quality of Service (Dynamic QOS) technology ensures that IP telephony
and online gaming is not affected by other applications.
NAT Router with Individual IP Routing, SPI Firewall and Port Forwarding. The
network address translation (NAT) technology makes it possible for multiple PCs to
share a single Internet IP address, by translating the individual IP addresses of each
PC on the local network to the shared IP address and keeping track of each
translation, thereby maintaining the connection from each PC on the local network to
the Internet. Combined with individual IP routing, dedicated PCs on the local network
can use public IP addresses, thus bypassing the NAT. The stateful packet inspection
(SPI) firewall ensures that no PC outside the local network can establish a connection
to any PC on the local network, and thus protects the PCs on the local network from
intruders coming from the Internet. With port forwarding, specific servers on the local
network can be accessed from the Internet, so e.g. a public web server can be set up
on the local network.
DHCP Server. The DHCP server technology automatically assigns the required
network information to the PCs on the local network. This means that the users do not
have to worry about configuring their PCs with the correct IP address, netmask,
gateway and DNS servers.
Anti Terror Logger (firmware option). The anti terror logger (ATL) technology
collects and records information about Internet traffic flows of individual users as
required by EU and Danish legislation.
