Basic characteristics and behaviors of Exinda Appliances
Capabilities provided by a distributed branch topology
In this topology, the Exinda appliances:
Monitor and control all traffic to and from the Internet and WAN.
May accelerate traffic between all WAN sites.
Monitor distribution of application traffic between all sites.
Prioritize and manage application performance in a fully meshed environment.
Control or block P2P and recreational applications site-wide.
Limitation of the distributed branch topology
None. This is the most flexible and robust topology.
Topologies with firewalls: Exinda Appliance in a network with a firewall
Firewall topologies vary significantly. Typically, an Exinda appliance is deployed between the switch and internal
interface of the firewall. This ensures the Exinda Appliance sees all hosts on the LAN.
