T-Series Traffic Director Installation, Configuration and Administration Guide 1-5
Product Capabilities
High Performance
The T1000 supports the scaling of bi-directional subscriber traffic from 2 Gbps up to 100
Gbps. This enables operators to meet the most demanding core network capacity
requirements and reduce the load balancer footprint required to scale Bytemobile Smart
Capacity solutions. Depending on hardware model, capacity can be added incrementally
through software key licenses. The configuration of multiple T1000 units in a virtual system
provides linear scalability to hundreds of Gbps. This lowers capital and operating costs over
the lifetime of the deployment, while ensuring the availability of capacity to meet subscriber
demand.
Deployment Flexibility
• Layer 4 load balancing through Layer 7 content switching – The T1000 enables
operators to switch subscriber sessions among applications running inline on
Bytemobile systems and applications running on other platforms for value-added
services and security.
• IPv4/v6 networking - The T1000 allows integration of Bytemobile platforms with
IPv6 networks. It supports an IPv4/v6 dual stack and offers IPv6 network address
translation (NAT) at scale.
• Standards-based networking – The T1000 supports industry-standard routing
protocols such as OSPF and BGP, as well as Layer 2 VLAN tagging, for ready
integration with existing mobile packet core or data center environments.
