The industry-leading IQ Frame Relay performance monitoring series from ADTRAN continues to provide more flexibility with the IQ 710 and traffic shaping. The IQ 710 is an all-encompassing traffic management platform addressing all seven layers of the network. This intelligent solution for managed Frame Relay access allows you to enjoy the monetary savings of Frame Relay without giving up management visibility and control. The IQ 710 provides the visibility and control you need for both the physical and logical connections made in Frame Relay networks.The IQ 710 is an intelligent Frame Relay-aware traffic management platform. It provides two expansion slots for network interface and dial backup cards and features 10BaseT Ethernet port for management applications. This product provides up to a full T1 of access, and unlike other IQ models, the IQ 710 gathers information from all seven layers of the network. The IQ 710 uses industry-leading technology to perform seven-layer monitoring and traffic shaping, and includes the necessary software to capture and report network information. Application monitoring in the IQ 710 includes the usage examination of: FTP, Telnet, E-mail, databases, corporate-wide ERP systems, Real-Audio, MPEG web traffic, and hundreds more. These Layer 7 metrics are used to evaluate application utilization and through-put; top application bandwidth consumers; network efficiency due to packet retransmission; as well as individual application response times and delays. Once network trends have been identified and analyzed, traffic shaping within the IQ 710 allows IT managers to control bandwidth consumption by application. Allocating bandwidth per application guarantees necessary bandwidth for business critical applications while allowing less critical applications to utilize the remaining bandwidth.
