For more details on all features described here, see the Alteon Application Guide and the Alteon Command Reference for AlteonOS version 32.4.0.0.

Starting with this version, the documentation set is available from the Radware Customer Portal in both PDF and HTML format. You can access the new HTML documentation either from the Documentation Download page for a given version, or you can perform a search for text from the Customer Portal search feature.

It provides deep-level analytics based on transaction information, improves troubleshooting and speeds up the root cause analysis, it provides user insights, and enables anomaly detection.

Using the Traffic Log dashboard, you get clear insights to the traffic patterns that your application handles.

 

Notes:

Note: When boot configuration is set to factory default, the device reboot removes the allocated AppWall cores.

Single IP mode is automatically selected when an Alteon VA has a single NIC attached to it.

Configuring an Alteon VA running in single IP mode is very straightforward, as VIPs, PIPs, and interface configuration are done automatically behind the scenes.

There are also cases of public clouds that provide instances with only a single NIC, and using this capability enables the support of such environments.

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a Transport Layer protocol, serving in a similar role to the popular protocols Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). SCTP is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a potentially unreliable connectionless packet service such as IP. It offers acknowledged error-free non-duplicated transfer of datagrams (messages). Detection of data corruption, loss of data and duplication of data is achieved by using checksums and sequence numbers. A selective retransmission mechanism is applied to correct loss or corruption of data.

The decisive difference from TCP is multi-homing and the concept of several streams within a connection. In TCP, a stream is referred to as a sequence of bytes, but in a SCTP, a stream represents a sequence of messages (and these may be very short or long).

Radware defines a single-home SCTP association as a connection between two single IP addresses. A multi-home SCTP association is a connection between multiple addresses. Both client and server can supply additional addresses on top of the one that is carried in the Layer 3 header.

The client sends the additional IP addresses in the INIT packet while the server sends the additional IP addresses in the INIT-ACK packet.

When NAT is performed for SCTP, the INIT and INIT-ACK packets should be updated and the SCTP association should be supported.

The Alteon Application Switch D-5424/D-5820 is a very high port density ADC with up to 40 Gbps throughput.

Notes:

AppWall’s Redirect Validation scans all parameters in the request (including JSON, URL and body parameters) and looks for external or internal redirect attempts to include files.

You can add trusted domains and trusted URIs for which the Redirect Validation are not applied. These can be added manually by clicking Add in the trusted domains and trusted URIs list.

OCSP multiple servers increase availability by letting you configure a secondary (backup) static OCSP server and by supporting a retry mechanism that prevents OCSP communication failure because of a temporary issue (number of retries is configurable).
