AR700 Series Router

Compression PAC-based compression has the following features:

Local 32-bit processor for high speed control and data transfer.

Dedicated high performance 32-bit compression hardware.

High compression ratio Lempel-Ziv algorithm in hardware.

2 MBytes of history memory.

Support for up to 127 compression channels.

Compression and decompression operations are performed by a 32-bit data compression coprocessor specifically designed for high-performance Lempel- Ziv compression applications. The 2 MBytes of history memory allows up to 127 individual data links to use compression concurrently, enabling PACs to provide compression for complicated network architectures. Figure 20 shows typical compression ratios achieved by a PAC for a representative set of file types.

Encryption PAC-based encryption has the following features:

Local 32-bit processor for high speed control and data transfer.

Dedicated high performance 32-bit Data Encryption Standard – DES and Triple DES (3DES) – hardware.

PAC DES and triple DES encryption are based on a fast 32-bit device that complies with FIPS PUB 46, ISO DEA-1 and ANSI X3.92 standards.

Dual Mode Throughput of an encrypted link can be dramatically increased by using data compression. To support this, ECPACs support both encryption and compression, providing a dual mode that allows combined compression and encryption operations. So that the compression phase will have the best

AR700 Series specifications

The Allied Telesis AR700 Series represents a robust line of edge routers engineered for high-performance networking. These devices are aimed at delivering versatility and scalability, catering to the needs of various organizations, whether small businesses or larger enterprises. Known for their reliability and advanced features, the AR700 Series stands out as a compelling option for organizations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure.

One of the standout features of the AR700 Series is its support for advanced routing protocols. The routers are capable of handling various protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and RIP, ensuring seamless integration within diverse network environments. This capability allows organizations to efficiently manage their routing needs, optimizing data flow for enhanced performance.

In addition to its routing protocols, the AR700 Series supports powerful Quality of Service (QoS) features. This technology prioritizes network traffic based on specific requirements, ensuring that vital applications receive the necessary bandwidth. This is particularly important for businesses that rely on real-time services such as video conferencing or voice over IP (VoIP), where uninterrupted service is critical.

The AR700 Series is also equipped with advanced security features to safeguard against cyber threats. With built-in firewall capabilities, VPN support, and traffic filtering, these routers help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and attacks. Additionally, the ability to implement VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) further enhances the security and manageability of the network.

Scalability is a key characteristic of the AR700 Series. Organizations can easily expand their network capabilities as they grow, with support for various interface modules. This flexibility enables businesses to adapt their infrastructure without the need for complete overhauls, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.

Management and monitoring of the AR700 Series are also streamlined, thanks to user-friendly interfaces and comprehensive management tools. IT teams can efficiently configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the network, ensuring optimal performance and reducing downtime.

In summary, the Allied Telesis AR700 Series routers combine advanced routing capabilities, robust security features, and scalable designs to meet the evolving needs of modern networks. With support for QoS, versatile protocols, and easy management, these devices are well-equipped to handle the demands of today's data-driven environments, making them an excellent choice for organizations aiming to improve their network performance and security.
