Product Capabilities
Performance Routing (PfR) is the latest WAN route optimization
from Cisco Systems that utilizes customer's existing Cisco
equipment. This technology optimizes traffic across
two or more WAN connections to both save bandwidth costs and
improve network performance. PfR is an evolution of
a prior Cisco technology call Optimized Edge Routing (OER),
but with a much broader scope.
Due to extensive collaboration with Cisco, Fluke Networks'
PfR Manager is the only GUI available that works with PfR.
PfR Manager takes this powerful PfR networking technology
and simplifies it into an intuitive, browser-based format.
Instead of reading and typing on the command line interface,
PfR users instead can point and click their mouse making installation,
configuration, monitoring and reporting easy. Further,
the software provides executive, historical and filtered reports
that are unavailable elsewhere.
