As organisations increase their use of the Internet to deliver their applications, maintaining only one link to the public network represents a single point of failure and serious network vulnerability. The BIG-IP Link Controller Module seamlessly monitors availability and performance of multiple WAN connections to intelligently manage bi-directional traffic flows to a site - providing fault tolerant, optimised Internet access.

Key Benefits
- Establishes reliable WAN connections for business-grade Internet connectivity
- Utilises WAN link bandwidth more efficiently with Rate Shaping
- Reduces WAN link bandwidth consumption with Compression
- Dramatically improves WAN link performance with TCP/IP optimisations using TCP Express
- Ensures traffic is directed over the best possible link and ISP for the highest quality of service and speed
- Maximises ROI for connectivity by aggregating inexpensive links
- Eliminates deployment barriers and dramatically reduces the costs of multihoming via Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
High Availability
Detects errors across an entire link to provide end-to-end, reliable WAN connectivity. It monitors the health and availability of each connection, detecting outages to a link or ISP. In the event of a failure, traffic is transparently and dynamically directed across other available links so users and external customers always stay connected.
Comprehensive Link Monitoring
Provides a comprehensive view into the health and throughput of links through the gateway router, ensuring availability and providing insight into the bandwidth and capacity of any given link. It also detects failures caused by ISP mis-configuration or other manual errors that might otherwise be missed.
Composite Monitors
Combines multiple monitors to quickly and accurately determine the health and availability of a link. If a problem is detected, it can route traffic to other available links - reducing downtime costs while improving the client experience.
Maximum ROI and Quality of Service
Ensures traffic is directed over the best possible link and ISP, maintaining the highest quality of service and speed for users; maximises ROI for connectivity by allowing organisations to aggregate inexpensive links.
