Abstract

Peribit Networks, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the SR-50 Sequence Reducer, a network infrastructure device that shrinks the amount of traffic crossing the WAN and thereby effectively increases WAN link capacity. The SR-50 operates in pairs at opposite ends of a WAN connection. To benchmark the SR-50's actual traffic reduction, The Tolly Group conducted application throughput tests in three WAN link environments with a variety of traffic flows. The Tolly Group also conducted tests to validate the SR-50's capability to locate repeatable data flow sequences and reduce them, regardless of traffic type.
