“The network dictates the end user experience” Gartner group 2014
Wan vs. lan Latency, Packet Loss, Out-of-Order Packets, Congestion
Why is a wan not like a lan? LAN WAN LATENCY LATENCY 20-300ms ~1ms LOSS LOSS MPLS 0.1% - 2% METRO ETHERNET 0.1% - 2% IP VPN 1.0% - 8.0% None CONGESTION CONGESTION $/Port = High $/Port = low
LAN LIKE Quality comes at a high cost Private lines, dark fiber • Latency • Loss • Congestion
Lower Cost links makes a wan feel like a … wan MPLS, IP-VPN, Metro ethernet • Latency • Loss • Congestion
Latency – slows communications across wan LAN WAN Transmit Transmit Ack Ack Latency 1ms Total 4ms Latency 100ms Total 400ms
Latency effect on throughput Calculating Throughput Receive Window Size ≤ Throughput Round Trip Time The equation never asks for the bandwidth size! Mbps Performance of an application across the WAN is always dependent on the latency. Latency
what about the storage guys? Gigabytes Per Hour Latency between locations has everything to do with how much traffic can be replicated. Latency
Packet loss • Caused by carrier congestion and SLA • When packets are lost TCP window sized reduce by ½ • Lost packets must be retransmitted Request Retransmit 1 4 5 2 3 Packet Lost
We did the math for you! • Effective throughput with loss Mbps % Loss From: NetForecast, “Improving Effective WAN Throughput for Large Data Flows, by Peter Sevcik and Rebecca Wetzel, Nov 2008 (http://bit.ly/12aL3gt)
Out-of-order packets • Caused by packets taking different routes • Out-of-Order packets cause retransmission • TCP window reduced to ensure reliability 1 4 2 3 Detect Out-of-Order Request Retransmit
WHAT DO YOU REALLY GET? • Latency, Packet Loss & Out-of-Order Packets • Packet retransmission slows down TCP connections and degrades UDP What you pay for What you actually experience
CONGESTION EVERY APPLICATION crosses the wan Collaboration Disaster Recovery Server Centralization • Storage Replication • Remote Backup • Failover to Cloud • Email • SharePoint • File Servers • AD, DNS • Internet • VoIP • Video Conferencing • Screen Sharing • VDI • Printing
The silver peak approach OPTIMIZE AND CONDITION THE WAN
The solution Apply 1 or all 3 techniques LATENCY NETWORK ACCELERATION EXTEND DISTANCE Mitigate protocol latency and chattiness NETWORK INTEGRITY LOSS • FIX CONGESTION / PACKET LOSS • • Traffic Shaping/Quality of Service (QoS) • • Forward Error Correction (FEC) • Packet Order Correction (POC) CONGESTION TM NETWORK MEMORY INCREASE BANDWIDTH Real-Time deduplication of all IP traffic
Overcome latency Without Network Acceleration With Network Acceleration Total time: 100 ms Total time: 500 ms Transmit Transmit Ack Ack • *Latency is determined by: • Speed of light • Route taken • Congestion in network Latency 100 ms* Latency 100 ms*
eliminate packet loss • Parity dynamically adjusted based on amount of loss • Lost packets rebuilt at the receiving Silver Peak • Receiver unaware packet loss has occurred • No window size decrease Lost Packet Rebuilt from Parity 1 4 5 2 3 Packet Lost P
correcting out-of-order packets • Packets are tagged as they leave the Silver Peak • Out-of-Order packets are reordered at the receiving side • Receiving client unaware that out-of-order packets have occurred • No window size decrease 1 1 4 4 2 2 3 3 Detect Out-of-Order Reorder

The silver peak approach Optimize Anything
WANOP background Gen 1 • Packet Shaping • QOS Gen 2 • Designed for TCP only • Optimize a select set of applications Gen 3 • Optimize all protocols • Optimize any application • Correct for WAN problems

What does it really mean? LAYER 4-7 • Only optimize specific set applications • Coordinate software upgrades with WANOP appliance version to avoid breaking applications and optimization • Unsupported applications can break LAYER 3 • Set & forget - Optimize ANY & ALL traffic • Fix network health issues, accelerates & deduplicates • Optimization is 100% independent of the application or version
