Abstract

Nortel commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate a converged network infrastructure for Enterprise users to illustrate the load-balancing capabilities of its Nortel Application Switch 2424/3408.

Tests attempted to show Nortel Application Switch support for Server Load Balancing for servers running Nortel MCS or Microsoft LCS - either locally, or across the network. Tests also illustrated the ability of the Nortel Application Switch to detect and block security attacks like Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Tests were conducted in November 2006.
