Multiple 7110/7115s and Cascading Processing

Scalability and Cascading

The 7110/7115’s capabilities are scalable by chaining, or “cascading,” multiple 7110/7115s together. In such configurations, each unit’s server side connector is wired to the network side connector of the next 7110/7115 in line. The last 7110/7115 in line is connected to the server, switch, or ITM device.

Spilling and Throttling

When the 7110/7115’s “spill” option is enabled, if a given 7110/7115 cannot process a request within a specified interval, the request is passed on, still encrypted, to the next 7110/7115 in line. The last
