XIPLINK – XA Optimized Appliances Overview

Description

XA-Appliances deliver the most advanced satellite and wireless optimization in easy to install appliances, assuring proper throughput at a reasonable capital cost. For small and medium sized sites with access speeds from a few Kbps to 16 Mbps, desktop style appliances are user-installed via logical GUI templates thus minimizing impact to the operations staff. For high speed links or central aggregation sites, fully redundant appliances will optimize links with aggregate capacities from 30 Mbps to 1.3 Gbps, supporting up to 200,000 simultaneous TCP sessions and dramatically increasing effective throughput to the customer.
XipLink Operating System (XipOS) is available on XA-Appliances, XipLink-XV Virtual Machine software and single board computers using XipLink-XE soft optimizers. XipOS achieves a high rate of bandwidth efficiency by providing simultaneous optimizations including TCP acceleration, several compression mechanisms, sophisticated cache techniques, web optimizations and header reduction. To increase overall effectiveness, XipOS provides a class-based QoS mechanism and has the ability to link balance when multiple paths are present.
All XA appliances are interoperable with other XipOS implementations as well as SCPS-compliant TCP accelerators.
XipLink devices work over any wireless, wireline or hybrid network including the following network technologies;
XipLink Operating System (XipOS)
SCPS-TP Protocol Acceleration
