Power Up Your Network: High-Efficiency Traffic Management with Sharetop’s Aggregation Devices

Working Principle of Aggregation and Distribution Devices


Our aggregation and distribution devices operate on the following fundamental steps to achieve efficient data processing and management:


1. Traffic Access and Data Collection

The devices access various network traffic through SFP/SFP+ interfaces, supporting both GE and 10GE high-speed data input. With pluggable SFP+ optical modules, the equipment can monitor and detect incoming optical power in real-time, ensuring stable link connections and precise data reception.


2. Packet Identification and Filtering

These devices feature advanced packet identification and filtering functions, precisely recognizing protocols like VLAN, QinQ, MPLS, IPv4/IPv6, VxLAN, NVGRE, GRE, and other tunnel packets. This identification process is hardware-accelerated to classify and handle multiple protocols and complex packets in real time. Based on user requirements, filtering rules can be set up according to source/destination MAC address, IP address, VLAN ID, port number, protocol type, etc., effectively filtering out unnecessary packets and optimizing traffic processing efficiency.


3. Data Deduplication and Packet Processing

The devices support precise deduplication, which automatically identifies and eliminates duplicate packets, avoiding the transmission of redundant data. Additionally, they provide multi-layer packet processing, including adding or removing VLAN tags and modifying MAC addresses, ensuring compatibility and adaptability across different network environments. Through these processes, the devices ensure the accuracy and structural integrity of distributed traffic.


4. Load Balancing and Traffic Distribution

After processing, the devices support various load balancing methods based on hashing algorithms, distributing traffic to specified output ports effectively. The load balancing algorithm dynamically adjusts the traffic distribution according to information like source IP, destination IP, and port number, maximizing network bandwidth utilization and reducing congestion. This flexible load balancing mechanism is especially beneficial for high-density traffic handling in data center environments.


5. Remote Monitoring and Alarm Management

Equipped with management interfaces (supporting HTTPS, SSH, and SNMP protocols), the devices enable remote traffic monitoring and provide real-time alerts in case of abnormal conditions. With SNMP Trap and email alerts, network administrators can stay updated on the device status, enhancing network reliability and security.



Product Functions and Features

3. Accurate Data Deduplication and Timestamp Support

The device’s deduplication functionality and nanosecond-level timestamps ensure data accuracy and timeliness, ideal for applications requiring high data integrity.


4. Flexible Management Configuration and Alarm Upload

The device supports both Web and CLI interface management and is compatible with SNMP V2c/V3 protocols, simplifying integration and maintenance. It supports active alarm pushing and remote upgrades, providing a convenient management experience for users.


5. Energy-Efficient Design

The 24x10GE device consumes less than 140W, while the 48x10GE device consumes less than 280W, making them ideal for green data center development.



Application Scenarios

1. Data Center Traffic Management

The high-density distribution capability effectively aggregates and manages large-scale traffic in data centers, performing data filtering and optimization to improve traffic scheduling efficiency.


2. Multi-Protocol Support for Telecom Operators

These devices support traffic handling for multiple protocol types, meeting the complex network requirements of telecom operators and managing large volumes of user data flows effectively.


3. Enterprise Network Security

The devices' flexible packet filtering and data deduplication help detect and block malicious traffic, creating a safer network environment for enterprises.
