Innovative Technology
FloodGate-1 delivers high-performance, policy-based bandwidth
management by leveraging the industry’s most advanced traffic.
inspection and bandwidth control technologies.
Stateful Inspection
FloodGate-1 incorporates Check Point’s patented Stateful
Inspection technology to capture detailed state information
on all network traffic, which is stored and updated dynamically.
This cumulative data is used by FloodGate-1’s IQ Engine
to implement the user-defined management policy.
Inspect™ Virtual Machine
The Inspect Virtual Machine interprets state information enabling
FloodGate-1 to classify more than 100 Internet services and
applications.
IQ Engine
FloodGate-1’s IQ Engine employs an innovative hierarchical
Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) algorithm to precisely control the
allocation of available bandwidth. The IQ Engine uses detailed
traffic information from the INSPECT Virtual Machine to accurately
classify traffic and place it in the proper transmission queue.
Traffic Scheduler
Traffic is then scheduled for transmission based on the bandwidth
management policy. The IQ Engine includes a preemptive traffic
scheduler so that high priority traffic is always given precedence
over lower priority data. This results in exceptional accuracy
when allocating bandwidth based on large weighted priorities,
such as a 50:1 weighting between two Internet services. |
