StreamingMedia, etc.)
- Concurrent multi-application support
- Global server load balancing to distributed servers based
on health, user proximity, server weights, and response
times
- · Sophisticated filtering rules-applied per switch,
per port, or per VLAN-toallow, deny, redirect, or translate
traffic based on source/destination IP, protocolnumber/name,
TCP/UDP application or source/destination port, andother
criteria such as TCP flags and ICMP message types
