Alteon Application Switch Operating System Application Guide
Preface
40 Document ID: RDWR-ALOS-V2900_AG1302
• Load Balancing Special Services describes how to extend Server Load Balancing (SLB)
configurations to load balance services including source IP addresses, FTP, RTSP, DNS, WAP,
IDS, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
• WAN Link Load Balancing
describes how to balance user session traffic among a pool of available
WAN Links.
• Offloading SSL Encryption and Authentication
describes SSL offloading capabilities, which
perform encryption, decryption, and verification of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) transmissions
between clients and servers, relieving the back-end servers of these tasks.
• Filtering and Traffic Manipulation
describes how to configure and optimize network traffic filters
for security and Network Address Translation (NAT).
• ADC-VX Management
describes how to use ADC-VX in an Alteon environment. A vADC is a
virtualized instance of the AlteonOS that behaves in the same manner as a traditional
standalone Alteon ADC, with the exception that while it is bound to a specific hardware resource,
the amount of resources allocated to the vADC may vary based on the user’s or application's
resource needs.
• Application Redirection
describes how to use filters for redirecting traffic to such network
streamlining devices as caches.
• Health Checking
describes how to recognize the availability of the various network resources
used with the various load balancing and application redirection features.
• High Availability
describes how to use the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) to ensure
that network resources remain available if one Alteon is removed for service.
Part 4—Advanced Load Balancing
• Persistence describes how to ensure that all connections from a specific client session reach the
same server. Persistence can be based on cookies or SSL session ID.
• Advanced Denial of Service Protection
describes the protection features that can be used to
prevent a wide range of network attacks.
• Firewall Load Balancing
describes how to combine features to provide a scalable solution for load
balancing multiple firewalls.
• Virtual Private Network Load Balancing
describes load balancing secure point-to-point links.
• Global Server Load Balancing
describes configuring server load balancing across multiple
geographic sites.
• Bandwidth Management
describes how to allocate specific portions of the available bandwidth
for specific users or applications.
• XML Configuration API
describes how to use and configure the XML Configuration API.
• AppShape++ Scripting
describes the AppShape++ framework for customizing application
delivery using user-written scripts.
Appendices
• Layer 7 String Handling describes how to perform load balancing and application redirection
based on Layer 7 packet content information (such as URL, HTTP Header, browser type, and
cookies).
• Content-Intelligent Server Load Balancing Not Using Layer 7 Content Switching Rules
describes
the sole content-intelligent server load balancing methodology prior to version 28.1.
• IPv6
describes how to configure the IP version 6 features.
