Abstract

Allot Communications, Ltd. commissioned Tolly to validate the application recognition performance and feature support of its Service Gateway Sigma (SG-Sigma) platform.

Tests measured the application recognition performance of the SG-Sigma platform while processing Internet Mix and standard IPv4 packet sizes. Tests also measured the performance of the SG-Sigma platform as a single chassis, as well as in a two-unit cluster. Feature certification tests focused on the ability of the SG-Sigma platform to identify asymmetric traffic patterns across different platforms in a two-unit cluster, and also the ability to ‘steer’ (selectively redirect) desired application traffic streams to internal and external service platforms. Finally tests validated the support for N+1 resiliency for the core controller modules of the SG-Sigma platform while handling application traffic.
