1.2.4 Acceleration and WAN Optimization

WAN Optimization is available with units manufactured from November 2010 forward.

All turboIP Performance Enhancement Proxies combat the inherent challenges of transmitting Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) over satellite links. The units provide transparent acceleration of TCP sessions, increasing throughput over satellite links while requiring minimal topology changes. They provide reliable connection-oriented, end-to-end data transfer for user applications. Powered by the industry-leading SCPS implementation, SkipWare, the turboIP-G2 overcomes performance loss associated with conditions common in tactical networking, including weather effects, blockage, latency and interference. The turboIP-G2 complies with DOD requirements for volatile memory data storage by providing RAM-based web caching. The turboIP-G2 also provides support for both IPv4 and IPv6, allowing DOD programs to satisfy IPv6 conformance mandates.

1.2.4.1 TCP/IP Performance Limitations

Due to its design, TCP/IP does not perform well over impaired links. The link impairment could be due to delay or noise or both. A typical satellite link suffers due to high delay and high noise. The main reasons for poor TCP/IP performance over an impaired link can be summarized as:

• Slow start algorithm. Slow start algorithm allows a TCP sender to increase the data transmission rate without overwhelming the network. It achieves this goal by gradually increasing the number of unacknowledged segments at the start of the session. The time required for an acknowledgement over the satellite link severely limits the ramp up in transmission rate.

• TCP window size. The most unacknowledged data that a TCP sender can have outstanding is limited by the sender’s window size. This limits the transmission rate in the steady state to Window_Size/Round_Trip_Time (e.g., for a typical receive windows size of 64 Kbytes and satellite round trip time of 540 ms, the maximum throughput is limited to approximately 121 kbps).

• Congestion avoidance algorithms. The congestion avoidance and control mechanism of

TCP attributes packet loss to network congestion, as opposed to corruption due to noise in the channel. This leads to drastic reduction in transmission rates. Recovery from congestion is slowed due to the high round trip time and noise in the satellite channel.

1.2.4.2 TCP/IP Performance Enhancement Proxy

Comtech EF Data’s turboIP-G2 Performance Enhancement Proxy is designed to alleviate TCP/IP bottlenecks in an impaired environment (high delay, high bit error rate, or both), while preserving interoperability with any TCP device. It achieves this by combining TCP with a number of enhancements that modernize IP transport. turboIP-G2 is based on SCPS-TP, the Transport Protocol of SCPS, an open standard specifically defined for space communications. This standard is open, published, and internationally distributed. SCPS-TP is an ISO standard (15893), a CCSDS standard (714.0-B-1), and a MIL-STD (MIL-STD-2045-44000). turboIP-G2 is fully compatible with network devices that use TCP, supporting existing Internet standards, including network congestion and retransmission schemes. This allows turboIP-G2 at one end of the link to operate with TCP devices at the other end of the link without the need for a peer turboIP-G2 device, providing partial performance enhancement. However, it is recommended that TCP traffic pass through a pair of turboIPTM Performance Enhancement Proxies, in order to take full advantage of the SCPS-TP protocol. The key features of turboIP-G2 that help alleviate TCP/IP performance bottlenecks are:

• Quick Start. turboIP-G2 makes full and immediate use of the links available, eliminating the inefficiencies of the TCP slow-start algorithm.

• Window Scaling. turboIP-G2 supports window sizes up to 1 GB, far exceeding the

standard TCP window size of 64 Kbytes.

• Intelligent Congestion Control. turboIP-G2 is optimized for real-world, mixed-loss environments. It is capable of distinguishing data corruption from congestion-induced data loss. Doing so prevents unnecessary activation of congestion control mechanisms, which can lead to significant reductions in transmission rates.

• Selective Negative Acknowledgments (SNACKs). SNACKs identify specific lost or

damaged packets and request retransmission of those packets. This provides for quicker recovery and better bandwidth utilization in lossy environments.

• Path MTU Discovery. turboIP-G2 allows Slipware to dynamically detect the allowed

MTU for the path between the Skip ware gateway and the peer gateway or end systems for accelerated traffic, thus eliminating fragmentation of TCP segments that are too large for the path MTU.

• Tolerance for packet reordering. turboIP-G2 prevents spurious retransmissions due to

packet reordering in the path between two skip ware gateways

• Support for large queues with congestion control. turboIP-G2 prevents spurious retransmissions timeouts (RTO) caused by an increase in RTT due to queuing, improving throughput when using the Per-Connection congestion control on long delay networks that support large queues.

turboIP-G2 Performance Enhancement Proxy Revision 2 Introduction CD-TURBOIP-G2

1–11

• Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). Traditionally, TCP/IP networks signal congestion by dropping packets. When ECN is successfully negotiated, an ECN-aware router may set a mark in the IP header instead of dropping a packet in order to signal impending congestion. The receiver of the packet echoes the congestion indication to the sender, which must react as though a packet was dropped.

• Rate Pacing. turboIP-G2 meters out bursty traffic at a rate not to exceed the configured

transmission rate of the satellite channel. This prevents the satellite channel from becoming congested.

• Per-Connection. turboIP-G2 allows Per-Connection Mode to support dynamic

bandwidth paths, where the bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being accelerated by the turboIP-G2. Treats any loss as an indication of congestion and reduces the throughput by half

• Error Tolerance. turboIP-G2 allows Error Tolerance Mode to support dynamic

bandwidth paths, where the bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being accelerated by the turboIP-G2. Will tolerate 1/12 amount of loss in a window before reducing the throughput to half.

When Rate Pacing Mode, Pre-Connection Mode or Error Tolerance Mode are selected to optimize TCP acceleration performance:

• Rate Pacing Mode should be used when the bandwidth path for accelerated

TCP traffic remains constant with the set WAN Transmission Rate.

• Per-Connection Mode should be used to support dynamic bandwidth paths, where the bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being accelerated by the turboIP-G2 and there is low congestion in networks.

• Error Tolerance Mode should be used to support dynamic bandwidth paths, where the bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being accelerated by the turboIP-G2 and there is high congestion in networks.

1.2.4.3 Selective Acceleration

Selective Acceleration implemented by the Comtech turboIP-G2 is a mechanism for providing different Quality of Service (QoS) for different datagrams. Selective Acceleration only applies to IPv4 datagrams that are received on the LAN interface and forwarded to the WAN interface. Selective Acceleration is implemented as an ordered table of rules that determine the QoS to be provided for traffic passing through the turboIP-G2. The rules have three parts: 1) An accounting part that specifies the location and status of the rule in the table;

2) A filter part that matches the datagram’s passing through the turboIP-G2 to each rule; 3) A QoS part that determines how the data that matches the rule is to be treated. Each rule can

specify that either all packets matching the rule be dropped or the following QoS parameters be applied:

1–12

• A priority level;

• A maximum data rate (bandwidth) for all traffic matching the rule;

• Whether or not to accelerate TCP sessions matching the rule (i.e., invoke SCPS-TP).

1.2.4.4 Data and Header Compression

The turboIP-G2 supports header and payload compression of accelerated TCP traffic. Compression is enabled or disabled by a global setting. If it is enabled, both header and data compression will be attempted on all new accelerated sessions. Compression will be negotiated during the TCP connection establishment. Therefore, even if the turboIP-G2 has compression enabled, and if the peer turboIP-G2 does not also have compression enabled, then the session will not be compressed. Data compression on accelerated TCP flows will be handled on a segment-by-segment basis. The compressibility of each segment payload will be evaluated individually and only those segments where the impacts would be beneficial will be compressed. If a session is to be compressed, then the segments corresponding to that session will be compressed only if:

• The uncompressed payload length is greater than 90 octets, and

• The compressed length is not larger than two octets smaller than the uncompressed length.

1.2.4.5 Minimum Compression Ratio

The compression ratio is defined as the ratio of the sum of the sizes of all TCP segments in an uncompressed session to the sum of the sizes of the TCP segments if that same session were compressed. Note that this is different from the definition used in the compression ratio statistic. A minimum compression ratio of 1.91:1 shall be achieved with the Canterbury corpus and 1.63:1 with the Calgary corpus, when the data is transferred through the turboIP-G2 using FTP. The turboIP-G2 shall never produce a compression ratio less than 1 with any data, that is, the size of the compressed flows shall always be less than or equal to the size that the flow would have been if compression were disabled for that flow.

1.3 Software Update

The turboIP-G2 is factory-shipped with the latest version of operating software. If a software update is needed, it can be downloaded from Comtech EF Data’s Web site (www.comtechefdata.com) or obtained from Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours via e-mail or on CD by standard mail delivery. The turboIP-G2 Software Update process is as follows:

turboIP-G2 Performance Enhancement Proxy Revision 2 Introduction CD-TURBOIP-G2

1–13

• Perform the update without opening the turboIP-G2 by connecting the MGT port on the turboIP-G2 rear panel to the Ethernet port of a user-supplied PC.

• Download the software update via the Internet (or as otherwise obtained from Comtech EF Data Customer Support) to the user PC.

• Transfer the software update via automated File Transfer Protocol (FTP) from the user PC to the turboIP-G2. See Chapter 4. CONFIGURATION AND UPDATING.

1.4 FAST System

The turboIP-G2 incorporates a number of optional features. In order to permit a lower initial cost, the unit may be purchased with only the desired features enabled. If, at a later date, the user wishes to upgrade the functionality of a unit, Comtech EF Data provides Fully Accessible System Topology (FAST), a technology which permits the purchase and installation of options through special authorization codes. These unique Fast Access Codes may be purchased from Comtech EF Data during normal business hours, and then loaded into the unit via the rear panel ‘CONSOLE’ port or, on units manufactured after November 2010, the rear panel ‘MGT’ port.

1.4.1 FAST System Theory

FAST allows an operator to order a unit precisely tailored for the initial application. When service requirements change, FAST allows the operator to upgrade the topology of the unit on-location, within minutes, and without having to remove the unit from the setup. This accelerated upgrade is possible due to FAST’s extensive use of the programmable logic devices incorporated into Comtech EF Data products.

1.4.2 FAST Implementation

Comtech EF Data’s FAST system is factory-implemented in the turboIP-G2. All FAST options are available through the basic platform unit at the time of order. FAST allows immediate activation of available options – first, upon entry of the FAST Access Code, and then by setting the desired operational parameters via the remote control or Web Server Graphical User interfaces.

1.4.3 FAST Accessible Options

• IPv6 acceleration and management – Pending

• Data and Header Compression

• HTTP RAM-based Caching – Pending

• CIFS/WAFS Acceleration – Pending

• 45 Mbps WAN rate

• 155 Mbps WAN rate

Chapter 4. CONFIGURATION AND UPDATING

4.1 Important Configuration Notes

1. The turboIP-G2 must first be placed in the link such that it has visibility of TCP traffic in both directions; i.e., forward traffic as well as the TCP acknowledgments must pass through the unit. If the unit is connected such that it has visibility only of forward traffic or TCP acknowledgments, all such TCP sessions through the turboIP-G2 will not be accelerated.

2. During configuration of the turboIP-G2, all changes take effect immediately, with the exception of the following three changes, which require reboot of the unit:

• Initial Configuration Wizard

• Restore to Factory Defaults

• Updating the Unit Software

4.2 Required Equipment

In addition to connecting the turboIP-G2 to the network with user-provided Ethernet cables and Ethernet switches/hubs, the following user-provided equipment is required for the ‘CONSOLE’ port connection (located on the unit rear panel):

• A female-to-male (DB-9F to DB-9M) straight-through modem cable;

• A PC running a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal (for use of the CLI), and a compatible Web browser such as Internet Explorer (for use of the Web Server GUI).

Microsoft has acknowledged a bug for HyperTerminal shipped with Windows 2000 prior to Service Pack 2, where the keyboard numeric pad’s ARROW keys – ↑(8), ↓(2), ←(4), and →(6) – were non-functional.

Use of the ARROW keys when NumLock is OFF will work under HyperTerminal, provided that the client is running Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.

Upon initial entry of the password, the user is prompted to re-enter the password to confirm and ensure accuracy of the original entry.

Password Complexity When changing passwords, at least four (4) characters in the new password must be different from the old password.

The system does not keep a record of old passwords, once a password is changed. If the Administrator login or password is lost, the turboIP-G2 can be restored to Factory Defaults using the following account that accessible only via the CLI serial interface: username: safe password: C0mtech! Once the factory defaults are restored, the turboIP-G2 can be rebooted and the user will be able to accept the EULA and begin the Configuration Wizard.

4.6 Updating turboIP-G2 Software

Backward Compatibility Advisory: All turboIP-G2 software updates must be done in sequential order; that is, in order to update to the most recent turboIP-G2 software version, the turboIP-G2 must be operating with the previous turboIP-G2 software release. A unit running Software Version 5.1.2 is verified as compatible with units running Version 4.5.X and greater. No guarantee is provided that Software Ver. 5.1.2 will be compatible with versions prior to 4.5.X. If the unit is running any software version older than Version 4.8.X, it must first to updated, at minimum, to Version 4.8.X with separate update files. Refer to Upgrade Instructions V48x.pdf, available from Comtech EF Data Customer Support.

The turboIP-G2 is factory-shipped with the latest version of operating software. If a software update is needed, it can be acquired by download from Comtech EF Data’s Web site (www.comtechefdata.com), or from Comtech EF Data Customer Support during normal business hours either by e-mail or on CD by standard mail delivery.

The turboIP-G2 Software Update process, explained in detail in the ensuing subsections, is as follows:

• To perform the software update without opening the turboIP-G2, connect the ‘MGT’ port

on the unit rear panel to the Ethernet port of a user-supplied PC.

• Download the software update via the Internet to the user PC.

• Transfer the software update via the unit’s automated File Transfer Protocol (FTP) utilities from the user PC to the turboIP-G2, using either the CLI or Web Server GUI.

4.6.1 Preparing for the Software Update

The turboIP-G2 can be updated from a PC with an FTP Server via the serial ‘CONSOLE’ port or using Ethernet (locally via the ‘LAN’ port, remotely via the ‘WAN’ port, or via the M&C-dedicated ‘MGT’ port).

4.6.1.1 Verifying Communications between the User PC and CLI

Before starting, verify connectivity to the turboIP-G2 by Ping response. Type “ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” at the Windows Command-line prompt (where ‘xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’ is the unit Management IP Address, if known – see the next section for acquiring this information). The response should confirm whether or not the unit is properly connected and communicating.

Chapter 5. MANAGEMENT VIA THE CLI OR WEB SERVER GUI

5.1 Important Interface Operation Notes

To use the turboIP-G2 Command Line Interface (CLI) or Web Server Graphical User Interface (GUI), assumptions are made that:

• The turboIP-G2 is connected to a user-supplied, Windows-based PC, and: o The PC’s serial port is connected to the turboIP-G2 ‘CONSOLE’ port.

o The PC’s Ethernet port is connected to the turboIP-G2 ‘MGT’ Ethernet

port (available only on units manufactured from November 2010 to present) with a user-supplied hub, switch, or direct Ethernet cable connection.

o The PC is running a terminal emulation program (for operation of the turboIP-G2 serial Command Line Interface) and a compatible Web browser (for operation of the turboIP-G2 Web Server GUI).

The turboIP-G2 supports a basic menu-driven interface – the Command Line Interface (CLI) – that is accessible using the ‘CONSOLE’ serial port provided on the rear panel. In addition, the Web Server Graphical User Interface (GUI) is available via connection to the ‘MGT’ port, an RJ-45, 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet management interface that is dedicated for monitor and control purposes.

Each interface contains the same functionality, with one exception: the USERID and PASSWORD are configurable only via the CLI, for obvious security reasons.

This chapter provides a high-level overview of the functionality provided by these interfaces and references other chapters for further details.

5–2

5.2 Command Line Interface (CLI)

For any new turboIP-G2 unit, the console will first display the EULA (End User License Agreement), and a run-through of the Configuration Wizard is required. Refer to Chapter 4. CONFIGURING AND UPDATING for detailed information regarding first-time unit configuration.

5.2.1 CLI Login

Upon successful configuration and startup of the unit, the user is first prompted to log in with the User ID and Password. For example: A successful login results in the display of the turboIP-G2 CLI Main Menu screen and the last active session:

A note about interface appearance: The appearance of the terminal emulator-based CLI may vary across individual user configurations. While the Main Menu screen shown above depicts use of a HyperTerminal interface, all subsequent screen shots in this chapter depict only the CLI screen and not the terminal emulator interface itself.

5–3

5.2.2 CLI Operation using the SSH (Secure Shell) Interface

When SSH (Secure Shell) is the selected interface, the security features require that administrative maintenance and control operations are accomplished using a Secure Shell (SSH) Command Line Interface (CLI).

For demonstration purposes, this section uses PuTTY, a free and open source

terminal emulator application used as a serial console client for SSH, Telnet, rlogin and raw TCP computing protocols. While the CLI Main and nested screens will be identical across terminal emulator applications, setup may differ slightly – the chapter assumes users’ familiarity with their preferred SSH interface.

To initiate a SSH CLI session:

1. From the SSH terminal emulation program’s

folder, double-click the program filename (e.g., putty.exe), shortcut, icon, etc. to open the SSH application and its configuration window.

2. (Using PuTTY as the example program) Type in the Management IP address of the turboIP-G2 (in the example to the right, the Host Name (or IP Address) window) and select SSH as the Connection Type.

3. Click Open to open the session. The session login

window will appear as per the first example shown below left.

 4. Once the login is accepted, the user is granted access to the CLI as per the second example

shown below right.

5.2.2.1 Common Operational Features

For any CLI screen, all changes take effect immediately upon pressing the ENTER key, with the exception of the following three changes, which require reboot of the unit:

• Initial Configuration Wizard (see Chapter 4. CONFIGURATION AND UPDATING)

• Restore to Factory Defaults (see Sect. )

• Updating the Unit Software (See Sect. ) Most pop-up parameter configuration windows may be exited, without saving changes, by pressing the ESC key. Where the Entry column (provided to specify the single-keystroke ‘mnemonic’ available to execute a command or open a nested screen) for a tabulated item is designated as [RO], this means that the pertinent selection is a read-only parameter provided on that screen for informational purposes only. Most screens feature, at the bottom of the screen, the message “Press Q to return to previous screen.” Press ‘Q’ to exit from the current screen, without saving changes made there, and to return to the previous screen.

5.2.3.2.1 WAN Transmission Rate

Set the maximum bandwidth available for TCP traffic on the WAN interface (a number, followed by a space and 'bps', 'kbps' or 'Mbps'). Must be ≥ 10 kbps and ≤ 15 Mbps. Setting the WAN transmission rate in excess of available bandwidth could lead to packet loss and degraded performance. Set the maximum bandwidth available for TCP traffic on the WAN interface (a number, followed by a space and 'bps', 'kbps' or 'Mbps'). Must be ≥ 10 kbps and ≤ 45 Mbps. Setting the WAN transmission rate in excess of available bandwidth could lead to packet loss and degraded performance. Set the maximum bandwidth available for TCP traffic on the WAN interface (a number, followed by a space and 'bps', 'kbps' or 'Mbps'). Must be ≥ 10 kbps and ≤ 155 Mbps. Setting the WAN transmission rate in excess of available bandwidth could lead to packet loss and degraded performance. For a mix of TCP / non-TCP traffic, use these settings to limit the bandwidth for TCP traffic:

• Example 1 – A pair of turboIP-G2s is used to accelerate TCP traffic on a satellite link where satellite Modem A has a TX data rate of 12 Mbps, and satellite Modem B has a TX data rate of 2048 kbps. Use WAN setting 12 Mbps for turboIP-G2 A, and 2048 kbps for turboIP-G2 B.

• Example 2 – A turboIP-G2 is in place at a hub where there are three outbound satellite links to three separate remotes with the following links:

Link A – Hub 4 Mbps Outbound, Remote A – 1536 kbps Inbound

Link B – Hub 3 Mbps Outbound, Remote B – 1024 kbps Inbound

Link A – Hub 2 Mbps Outbound, Remote C – 768 kbps Inbound

The Hub turboIP-G2 WAN is set to 9 Mbps to equal the total available Outbound bandwidth (4 + 3 + 2). In this example, create Selective Acceleration Rules to limit the bandwidth to match the Outbound TX data rate for each Remote. Set the Remote turboIP-G2 WAN setting to the Inbound TX data rate to the Hub.

5.2.3.2.2 Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU)

The MTU setting enables the turboIP-G2 to better support interoperability with other IP devices requiring less than 1500-byte TCP payloads. The MTU default setting is 1500 bytes.

5.2.3.2.3 Congestion Control

The turboIP-G2 supports three congestion control algorthim modes:

• Per-Connection Mode – The Per-Connection Mode mirrors the standard TCP congestion control algorthim. If any loss is detected, the window will be reduced by half. It should be used to support dynamic bandwidth paths, where the bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being accelerated by the turboIP-G2. This mode will interpret any loss as congestion.

Page 86: turboIP - Comtech EF Data · turboIP-G2 Performance Enhancement Proxy Revision 2 Table of Contents CD-TURBOIP-G2 iv 1.1 Overview ..... 1–1

turboIP-G2 Performance Enhancement Proxy Revision 2 Management via the CLI or Web Server GUI CD-TURBOIP-G2

5–12

• Rate Pacing Mode – The Rate Pacing Mode will always try to achieve the WAN Rate. It

should be used when bandwidth path for accelerated TCP traffic remains constant with the set WAN Transmission Rate. In Rate Pacing Mode, the turboIP-G2 meters out bursty traffic at a rate not to exceed the configured transmission rate of the satellite channel. This prevents the satellite channel from becoming congested and will maximize accelerated TCP throughput to match the set WAN Transmission Rate.

• Error Tolerance Mode – The Error Tolerance Mode is similar to Per-Connection Mode, with the exception that the TCP windows will not be reduced unless loss is more than 1/12 of the windows. Also Error Tolerance Mode supports ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) if both TurboIP supports this feature. ECN is an end to end notification of network congestion without dropping packets. Error Tolerance Mode should be used to support dynamic bandwidth paths, where the bandwidth may be different for any of the paths being accelerated by the turboIP-G2. This mode only should be used if ECN is enabled on the bottleneck link.

5.2.3.8 Command Line Interface Screen

5.2.3.8.1 Interface Overview

The Command Line Interface screen allows the user to run any commands currently in the standard CLI. This debug CLI allows for full configuration changes using the correct syntaxes. Interface Command/Query Execution: As invoked from the CLI Main Menu, the Command Line Interface screen provides a user command/query prompt only (>> _ ). Typical command syntax using this interface is, at the prompt, to enter the command or query, any options, and <cr> (i.e., ENTER) to execute:

command <option><cr> Getting help: From this command prompt, type ‘help’ or ‘?’ to display the command choices available via this interface: For a list of a command or query’s available options, as per the message provided at the bottom of the ‘help’ screen, type the name only and then <cr>. For example, typing log<cr> results in the following response:

>> log Usage: log clear - clears the Event Log log print - prints out the Event Log

Exit Interface / Return to CLI Main Menu: To exit out of the Command Line Interface screen and return to the CLI Main Menu (as shown in Sect. 5.2.2.), type ‘menu’.

Chapter 6. MANAGEMENT VIA SNMP

6.1 Overview

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard, application-layer protocol for managing devices on IP networks. An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components:

• The managed device – this includes the turboIP-G2.

• The SNMP Agent — the software (i.e., MIB file) that runs on the turboIP-G2. The

turboIP-G2 SNMP Agent supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3.  

• The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS) — the software that runs on the manager.

A Management Information Base (MIB) file is used for SNMP remote management of a unique device, and consists of a tree of nodes called Object Identifiers (OIDs). Each OID provides remote management of a particular function. These MIB files should be compiled in a user-supplied MIB Browser or SNMP Network Monitoring System server.

6.2 MIBII Support

turboIP-G2 supports RFC 1213 (MIBII) for managing the turboIP-G2. All public OIDs in the system, interface, IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, and SNMP groups are supported with the exception of the ipRouteTable OIDs which are read-only. Routes should be entered via the CLI’s routing screen or the Web Server GUI’s Routes page instead of through the MIBII’s ipRouteTable OIDs.

6.3 Private MIB Support

The following sections describe the SNMP private (product specific) MIB as provided for the Comtech EF Data turboIP-G2 unit. The OID tree of the turboIP-G2 private MIB is provided, followed by the data type of each OID.

Chapter 7. easyConnect™

7.1 Introduction

easyConnect™ is Comtech EF Data’s intelligent networking technology that is intended to allow easy integration of turboIP-G2 into existing networks. It also simplifies design and installation of a new network. It reduces network reconfiguration that is required when introducing turboIP-G2 into an existing link.

With easyConnect mode, the turboIP-G2 cannot be the default gateway or the next hop for any locally attached devices. Instead, the turboIP-G2 will work as a transparent bridge.

7.2 easyConnect™ ON

With easyConnect enabled, turboIP-G2 can be added to existing links without impacting existing non-TCP traffic and without having to reconfigure existing network devices. It also reduces the complexity when designing and installing a new network. With easyConnect mode:

• All IP and Non-IP traffic is transparently bridged;

• IP multicast is transparently bridged;

• Unicast IP datagrams that do not contain TCP payload are transparently bridged, and can be assigned a Priority or bandwidth restriction with Selective Acceleration Rules;

• Unicast IP datagrams that contain TCP payload can be assigned a Priority or bandwidth

restriction with Selective Acceleration Rules. Also, Selective Acceleration can be used to designate which TCP traffic is accelerated and which is not accelerated.

With easyConnect mode, the unit has only one IP address (Management IP Address) to which both the LAN and WAN ports will respond.

Chapter 8. FAIL TO WIRE

8.1 Introduction

The Fail to Wire (FTW) function provides a low-cost solution for high network availability. If the unit fails, then the installed FTW board allows traffic to bypass the turboIP-G2 as if it were simply a wire. This means that a unit failure will not bring down the whole network – traffic will continue to pass and, at most, the existing TCP sessions will be terminated and have to be restarted. The FTW functionality provides network reliability without the added cost of one-for-one redundancy.

8.2 Fail to Wire Board Operation

If the turboIP-G2 fails (excluding loss of power), then the FTW board switches into Wire Mode approximately 7 to 10 seconds after the failure. At this time, all traffic is bypassed around the turboIP-G2. All active TCP sessions will timeout and need to be restarted. Newly started TCP sessions will be bypassed around the turboIP-G2 without acceleration. If the turboIP-G2 reboots, then the FTW board switches to Wire Mode 7 to 10 seconds after the reboot is initiated, and stays in this mode until the reboot is completed. Hence, 7 to 10 seconds is the extent of network outage caused by a reboot of the turboIP-G2. If the turboIP-G2 loses power, then the FTW board immediately switches into Wire Mode. Approximately one second of traffic is lost during this switch. In addition, all TCP sessions will timeout and have to be restarted. While the turboIP-G2 is off, the FTW board is in Wire Mode and all traffic is bypassed around the turboIP-G2. When the turboIP-G2 is powered on again, the FTW board switches from Wire Mode to Normal Mode, during which time no traffic passes through the turboIP-G2 for 7 to 10 seconds. After this period, the board will switch back into Wire Mode and bypass traffic around the turboIP-G2 for 33 seconds while the turboIP-G2 is booting. When the turboIP-G2 finishes bootup, the FTW board switches from Wire Mode to Normal Mode, and the turboIP-G2 begins normal operations. About one second of traffic loss is possible during this final switch.

8.3 Fail to Wire Board Installed

The presence of a FTW board can be verified by looking at either the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Web Server Graphical User Interface (GUI). From the CLI:

Go to the Admin | Configuration/Actions screen. If the Fail to Wire (FTW) board is installed in the turboIP-G2, FailToWire – listed second from top under the System Status column – will be listed as “Available.” Further down the screen, Unit ID is listed second from bottom under the System Status column. If the FTW board is present, “FW” appears as the second-from-last pair of characters of the Unit ID’s last character sequence.

Appendix A. SAMPLE CONFIGURATIONS

A.1 Overview

This appendix describes typical topologies where the turboIP-G2 can be used. Each sample configuration shows how the turboIP-G2 would be configured for optimal performance. In all cases, the following conditions apply to the turboIP-G2:

• The turboIP-G2 must be placed in the network so that all TCP traffic that is to be accelerated will be directed through the turboIP-G2. The local network would be connected to turboIP-G2 LAN port and the WAN port would be connected to the satellite modem (or to a router which connects directly to the satellite modem).

• With easyConnect mode, the turboIP-G2 is never a “Next Hop” or a Default Gateway for any locally attached devices. Instead, the turboIP-G2™ will work as a transparent bridge, so a turboIP-G2 can be placed in any network without having to reconfigure any network devices.

• The turboIP-G2 Fail-to-Wire feature insures that all traffic continues to flow, even if there is a turboIP-G2 failure, such as a power supply failure.

• The turboIP-G2 is fully compatible with network devices that use TCP, supporting existing Internet standards, including network congestion and retransmission schemes. This allows turboIP-G2 at one end of the link to operate with TCP devices at the other end of the link without the need for a peer turboIP-G2 device, providing partial performance enhancement. However, it is recommended that TCP traffic pass through a pair of turboIP-G2 Performance Enhancement Proxies, in order to take full advantage of the SCPS-TP protocol.

The sections that follow show and describe the addition of turboIP-G2 to an existing network:

• Point-to-Point Configuration

• Point-to-MultiPoint Configuration

• Hub-Spoke Configuration

• Dynamic Bandwidth Configuration.

A.2 Point-to-Point Configuration

Figure A-1. Point-to-Point Configuration The configuration shown in Figure A-1 is a typical example where turboIP-G2s are used to maximize the TCP throughput in a Point-to-Point system. Note the turboIP-G2s are placed so that all TCP traffic between the Remote and the hub must pass through the turboIP-G2. The following table defines the configuration settings for each turboIP-G2:

Configuration Parameter Hub turboIP-G2 Remote turboIP-G2

WAN Transmission Rate 45 Mbps (equal to the TX data rate of Hub modem)

2048 kbps (equal to the TX data rate of Remote modem)

Congestion Control Rate Pacing Rate Pacing

Selective Acceleration No Selective Acceleration Rules are required. Rules could be added to prioritize or set BW limits on any type of traffic.

Route Table No Route Table entries are required. Routes could be added to allow remote access from outside of LAN subnet.

A.3 Point-to-MultiPoint Configuration

Figure A-2. Point-to-Multipoint Configuration In the Point-to-Multipoint configuration example shown in Figure A-2, a single turboIP-G2 is used at the Hub to accelerate TCP traffic to three Remote sites, each with a turboIP-G2. The following table defines the configuration settings for each turboIP-G2:

Configuration Parameter Hub turboIP-G2 Remote turboIP-G2 (1, 2, & 3) WAN Transmission Rate 45 Mbps (equal to the TX data rate

of Hub modem) 2048 kbps (equal to the TX data rate of Remote modem)

Congestion Control Rate Pacing Rate Pacing Selective Acceleration No Selective Acceleration Rules are required. Rules could be added to

prioritize or set BW limits on types of traffic. Rules could also be added to set a priority or BW limit on traffic to a particular site.

Route Table No Route Table entries are required. Routes could be added to allow remote access from outside of LAN subnet.

A.4 Hub-Spoke Configuration

Figure A-3. Hub-Spoke Configuration With the Hub-Spoke configuration example shown in Figure A-3, this configuration differs from the Point-to-Multipoint configuration in that there are separate satellite links between the Hub and each Remote site, but a single turboIP-G2 is still used at the Hub. Also note that there is no turboIP-G2 at Remote Site 3, this is to illustrate that turboIP-G2s can be deployed at Remote Sites at a future date and still be compatible with the Hub. Sites without a turboIP-G2 would only get partial benefit for turboIP-G2 TCP acceleration. The following table defines the configuration settings for each turboIP-G2:

Configuration Parameter Hub turboIP-G2 Remote turboIP-G2 (1 & 2) WAN Transmission Rate 45 Mbps (equal to the total TX data

rates of Hub modems, 25 + 13 + 8 Mbps)

1 Mbps (equal to the TX data rate of Remote modem.

Congestion Control Rate Pacing Rate Pacing Selective Acceleration Selective Acceleration Rules are

required to limit the bandwidth for all of the traffic destined for a particular Remote site. The BW limit would be equal to the TX data rate of Hub modem that is linked to the particular site 25 Mbps for Site 1, 13 Mbps for Site 2, and 8 Mbps for Site 3.

No Selective Acceleration Rules are required. Rules could be added to prioritize or set BW limits on types of traffic.

Route Table No Route Table entries are required. Routes could be added to allow remote access from outside of LAN subnet.

A.5 Dynamic Bandwidth Configuration

Figure A-4. Dynamic Bandwidth Configuration For the Dynamic Bandwidth configuration example shown in Figure A-4, there are turboIP-G2s in place in a simple Point-to-Point link, but there is more than a single path available between the Hub and the Remote Sites. Path A is a fiber optic link, Path B is a terrestrial T1 link, and Path C is a 1 Mbps satellite link. Routers are used at both sites to dynamically select the best path available. The turboIP-G2s are placed just before the router so that all traffic passes through the turboIP-G2s regardless of the path used. In this dynamic bandwidth environment, the turboIP-G2s need to set to Per-Connection Congestion Control to optimize the TCP acceleration for whichever path is used. The following table defines the configuration settings for each turboIP-G2:

Configuration Parameter Hub turboIP-G2 Remote turboIP-G2 (1 & 2)

WAN Transmission Rate 45 Mbps (set to the maximum rate) 45 Mbps (set to the maximum rate)

Congestion Control Per-Connection Per-Connection

Selective Acceleration No Selective Acceleration Rules are required. Rules could be added to prioritize or set BW limits on any type of traffic.

Route Table No Route Table entries are required. Routes could be added to allow remote access from outside of LAN subnet.
