Transparent Accelerators Transparent accelerators use similar metrics as nontransparent accelerators to identify peer devices on the other end of the network (automatic discovery or static configuration) but do not manipulate packet headers for data in flight. This helps to ensure compatibility ... [full story]

Nontransparent Accelerators Nontransparent accelerators are designed to optimize traffic that has been redirected to it and explicitly forward the optimized traffic to a statically defined or dynamically discovered peer through an explicit connection to that peer accelerator. In this way, the ... [full story]

Architecture of Accelerator Services All accelerator devices (and acceleration technology in general) have some posture to services deployed in the network. These network services include any action that can be performed against network packets and flows, including network visibility, monitoring, end-to-end ... [full story]

Integrating Accelerators into the Network To understand how accelerators coexist with the foundational network technologies for visibility, control, and resource alignment, it is also important to understand how accelerators integrate into the network. Integrating accelerators includes deploying accelerators and delivering to ... [full story]

TCP Optimization TCP is particularly challenged in WAN environments due to the connection-oriented, guaranteed-delivery behavior of the protocol. Furthermore, TCP generally has only a limited amount of memory capacity assigned to each connection, meaning only a small amount of data can ... [full story]
