Quick Eagle Networks’ 4335 Access Router
TM
provides an all-in-one networking
solutions to small businesses and remote offices. With the 4335 Access Router,
you not only get the functions of an intelligent WAN access router, but also a
Quality of Service (QoS) appliance, stateful inspection firewall, and CSU/DSU -
all in a single, affordable device.
Especially the increasing deployment of business applications using IP is placing
growing emphasis on efficient WAN bandwidth management at branch and
remote office locations. Indeed, voice and data-over-IP services mandate
capabilities far beyond traditional “best effort” routing. Therefore, today’s router
must be able to manage congestion control and prioritize critical traffic over the
“last mile” connection. Squeezing every last drop of performance from your
router and therefore your broadband connection is vital in keeping your network
costs under control.
With the 4335 Access Router’s optional standard-based DiffServ QoS (Differentiated
Services/Quality Of Service) capability you are able to control and manage the
bandwidth on your WAN connection, eliminating bottlenecks for your business-
critical applications such as ERP and CRM. In addition, DiffServ QoS enables
delay-sensitive voice and video-over-IP services, while dedicating enough
bandwidth for lower priority traffic.
With PPP, PPPoE, PPPoFR, Frame Relay, Multilink Frame Relay, Multilink PPP,
and MAC Bridging, Quick Eagle’s 4335 Access Router offers many cost-effective
ways to connect branch-offices over leased lines, the Internet, IP-VPN, or
corporate Frame Relay networks.
Business competitiveness depends more than ever before on the ability of the
corporate network to provide continuous service. With the “last mile” being the
most vulnerable point on the network, access redundancy is increasingly
important. Whether you want to duplicate your T1/E1 access lines to eliminate
the risk of a single cable cut disrupting your service, or take advantage of DSL
and cable modem broadband services to backup your Frame Relay services with
IP-VPN tunnels, network access redundancy is no longer a luxury. The 4335
Access Router directly addresses these concerns.
The ability to configure static routes, and one or more dynamic routing protocols
like RIP1, RIP2, OSPF, and optional BGP-4, enables the router to link small and
large enterprise networks. Static NAT, dynamic NAT, and overloading (NAPT)
allows you to access the Internet using your own private IP address scheme.
A value-priced alternative for network
redundancy and traffic prioritization.
Main Benefits:
• DiffServ-compliant QoS
prioritizes and optimizes IP
traffic flows for your critical
applications
•
Dual T1/E1 for access
redundancy, preventing a single
cable cut from disrupting service
•
Ethernet WAN port for network
access redundancy via DSL and
Cable modem connections
• Double bandwidth through
standard-based dual T1/E1
Multilink Frame Relay (FRF.16.1)
or MLPPP (RFC 1990)
• Scalable networking with VLAN,
static routing, RIP1, RIP2,
OSPF, and BGP-4 protocols
• Network Address Translation
(NAT) for Internet access
• Better throughput performance
than many traditional routers
due to integrated hardware and
software architecture
