The HP EFS WAN Accelerators use the following methods to communicate with routers:
Unicast (User Datagram Protocol Packets). The HP EFS WAN Accelerator is
configured with the IP address of each router. If additional routers are added to the service group, they must be added on each HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
Multicast. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator is configured with a multicast group. If additional routers are added, you do not need to add or change configuration settings on the HP EFS WAN Accelerators.
All Transmission Control Traffic (TCP) traffic is redirected by default. You can configure specific source or destination ports to be redirected. For detailed information, see “TCP Port Redirection” on page 80.
For other types of redirection filtering such as the Internet Protocol (IP) address, you configure Access Control Lists (ACLs) on the routers and add it to the service group. For detailed information, see “Specific Traffic Redirection” on page 81.
Traffic is redirected using one of the following schemes:
gre (Generic Routing Encapsulation). Each data packet is encapsulated in a
GRE packet with the HP EFS WAN Accelerator IP address configured as the destination. This scheme is applicable to any network.

| WAN Accelerator fails, traffic is redirected to the working HP EFS WAN Accelerators. | |
