Accelerated tunnels

Top  Previous 

See Exinda 4800 and Exinda 6800 for more specifications.

 

Accelerated Tunnels are tunnels used to connect accelerated traffic between Exinda x800 devices.  Only one tunnel can exist between any two Exinda devices.  The accelerated tunnels carry accelerated traffic.

 

The maximum number of Accelerated TCP connections is the max total number of accelerated connections supported through the device.  TCP connections beyond the maximum limit are passed through the device without being accelerated.  

 

The Max concurrent flows is the maximum number of IP connections that can be classified by the Exinda appliance,

What is the difference between an Accelerated Tunnel and a circuit ?
Accelerated Tunnels are created at the Virtual Circuit level. An accelerated tunnel is selected by choosing an Accelerated object in the destination of the Virtual Circuit.  Optimizer rules can therefor consist of a mix of standard VC and/or VCs with the destination of an Accelerated object making this an Accelerated tunnel.

What is an Accelerated object
Accelerated objects represent other Exinda x800 and x700 devices in the Exinda community that are able to accelrate on the case of x700 devices, compress traffic. These are discovered automatically or can be added manually.

What happens to non-TCP traffic?
Non-TCP traffic is not accelerated but can be optimized using Exinda's Quality of Service (QoS).
