requests per second. For additional information, please contact Spectracom.
Clients supported: The number of users supported depends on the class of network and the sub
net mask for the network. A gateway greatly increases the number of users.
TCP/IP application protocols for browser-based configuration and monitoring: HTTP, HTTPS
FTP/SFTP: For remote upload of system logs and (RFC 959)
Syslog: Provides remote log storage (RFCs 3164 and 5424)
