Leadership, performance and scale

Access Point 1000 has been purpose-built to deliver advanced IP services with industry leading performance and scale in a very compact 1U height chassis. The architecture features a 262 MHz MIPS R7000 RISC processor. The fast memory subsystem supports 128 MB synchronous DRAM (expandable to up to 256 MB), providing extended packet buffering support and expansion potential for future feature enhancements.

Access Point 1000 features two integrated 10/100 Ethernet interfaces with expansion slots supporting up to four additional interface modules. LAN interface options include a 10/100 Ethernet and a Gigabit Ethernet module. WAN interface modules include the 4 x T1/E1, MSSI (up to 8 Mbps), HSSI (up to 45 Mbps), DS3/Frame or ATM, and OC-3/ATM or Packet over SONET (POS) providing connectivity to an array of WAN services, such as Frame Relay, PPP, ATM, POS and SMDS.

The Access Point 1000 also includes two internal slots for the addition of special purpose performance accelerators, the first of which is the Hi/fn 7751-based Encryption Accelerator Module. With two Encryption Accelerators installed, the Access Point 1000 leads the industry with up to 155 Mbps of 3DES encryption.

Integrated IP services architecture

Access Point 1000 combines best-of-breed IP services with the price/performance and scale required to meet the needs of next generation IP/Internet services. Users can easily migrate from basic routing to advanced IP services in a single, high-availability platform that is easy to deploy and manage. Key features include:

  • Robust internet-certified routing

  • Explicit policy-based IP QoS

  • Industry-standard VPN tunneling and encryption

  • Integrated stateful packet-filtering firewall

  • Advanced traffic measurement and monitoring

  • Centralized, policy-enabled VPN provisioning

Robust Internet-certified IP routing

Access Point 1000 features robust IP routing that has been certified and deployed by the industry's leading Internet Providers. The standards-compliant IP routing solution includes full support for RIP, OSPF, BGP-4 and static routing.

The BGP-4 implementation is fully interoperable with the most widely installed backbone routers and is critical to providing reliable, multi-homed connections from an enterprise customer premises to a backbone IP network. The ability to operate as a full BGP-4 peer further allows deployment of the Access Point 1000 as a high-performance edge router connecting a carrier's access POP to the Internet/IP backbone.

For high-availability environments, Access Point 1000 supports redundant access from the corporate LAN to a primary or back-up default gateway via support for the IETF-defined VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol).

Additional IP features, including IP Load Sharing, Network Address Translation, and Multicast, further enable a broad base of value added IP services and applications.

Comprehensive suite of VPN services

Secure IP Tunneling and Encryption

With its rich security features, performance, and scale, Access Point 1000 is ideally suited to operate as a fully integrated VPN router or a QoS-enabled VPN gateway in large traffic centers. The system supports secure site-to-site and remote access VPNs with up to 4000 IPSec tunnels and triple DES encrypted packet-forwarding rates of up to 155 Mbps.

The IPSec tunneling and encryption implementation supports both 56-bit DES and 168-bit 3DES encryption, with HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA1 message authentication. Session keys are managed dynamically with IKE, while user level authentication is supported via local passwords, Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) or via X.509v3 formatted digital certifications.

L2TP Network Server

Access Point 1000 also operates as a high-performance L2TP Network Server (LNS), terminating remote user L2TP/PPP sessions at a network service provider POP or a large corporate site. The L2TP Network Server supports up to 1,000 L2TP/PPP sessions with support for IPCP, PAP/CHAP, MLPPP and optional IPSec security.

High-performance, Secure Firewall

Access Point 1000 assures high-performance access control via its integrated stateful packet-filtering firewall. This fully featured firewall provides robust security at beyond T3 rates, protecting the corporate LAN/WAN demarcation while preserving application performance and QoS attributes. Centralized, policy-enabled provisioning of the Access Point firewall eliminates site-by-site configuration complexity while also reducing the risk of security holes, which are often the result of configuration errors.

Explicit, policy-based bandwidth QoS

Access Point 1000 provides leadership IP QoS based on Class-Based Queuing (CBQ), an open, nonproprietary bandwidth management technology defined by leading members of the Internet community. With CBQ, a network administrator can establish and enforce specific bandwidth policies while gaining the visibility necessary to actively manage cost and QoS. This heightened level of control ensures that the required amount of bandwidth is delivered to the right users when and where they need it.

With CBQ, user traffic is easily classified based on information found in the IP packet header. Bandwidth is then explicitly allocated according to the priorities of the network provider. Bandwidth efficiency is achieved with CBQ's bandwidth borrowing capability, which allows a traffic class to burst above its allocated bandwidth if there is idle bandwidth on the link. Ease of use is assured with CBQ AutoClass, which enables Access Point 1000 to automatically create a set of bandwidth policies or profiles which can then be enforced across many applications and users.

In a VPN environment, Access Point 1000 provides bandwidth QoS for the "virtual trunks" connecting secure VPN sites while also allowing customers to policy manage application and user access to the bandwidth of those secure virtual trunks.

Access Point 1000 further enables end-to-end QoS with its support for IETF-defined Differentiated Services and also Type of Service marking. By combining CBQ and DiffServ, a network operator can first prioritize user traffic to meet internal business needs and then map that traffic into the end-to-end service levels offered by the IP/Internet backbone.

Device and security management

The Access View™ Manager enables an administrator to easily control Access Point 1000 using its graphical Web Management Navigator, an intuitive Command Line Interface (CLI), or from any industry standard SNMP manager. The Access View CLI establishes a new standard for ease of configuration management, while the Web interface provides a powerful graphical tool for continuous monitoring and control of bandwidth allocation and usage.

Access View is fully compatible with installed SNMP management and reporting systems, thus allowing network administrators to generate a variety of useful statistical reports, support user charge-back and perform service monitoring. A flexible split-horizon management also allows separate Web-accessible management domains to be established to meet the respective needs of network provider and user.

Centralized VPN policy management

Access Point QVPN Builder™ is a centralized VPN policy manager allowing policy-based, end-to-end provisioning of a site-to-site VPN. Using QVPN Builder, network providers can cost-effectively deploy, manage and scale Internet VPN services.

QVPN Builder simplifies VPN deployment by allowing policy-based provisioning of an Internet VPN. Information, such as VPN topology, security profiles, firewall rules and QoS policies are translated into detailed site-level configurations. QVPN Builder then automatically distributes the information to each Access Point 1000 site, securely via SNMPv3, non-disruptively and within minutes. By automating and centralizing this process, VPN networks can more easily and quickly scale to hundreds of individual user sites.
