Functionality

The BQN is an advanced network optimization product to improve speed, reduce latency and congestion, and provide full traffic visibility. This user manual describes in detail all the product functionalities and how to make the best use of them. In this section we provide an overview with links to some interesting sections where to start.

‍

Access the BQN GUI

Once the system has been installed and deployed, see here how to access its user interface.

‍

Traffic optimization: TCP Optimization

The TCP Optimization functionality makes sure that TCP traffic flowing through it reaches optimal speeds, resulting in faster downloads and uploads.

This feature is enabled by default. The benefits in the traffic can be found here. You will have to wait a few hours for the system to gather enough information.

‍

Traffic optimization: Automatic Congestion Management (ACM)

The ACM continuously monitors all network users, their speed, latency and packet losses, and detect if they are reaching a congestion. When congestion is detected, it will take action to mitigate it and reduce latency and losses, providing a much better Quality-of-Experience.

This feature is enabled by default. The benefits in the traffic can be found here. You will have to wait a few hours for the system to gather enough information.

‍

Bandwidth management policies

The BQN platform includes the most advanced queueing technology in the market, which will deliver the best possible Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). You can enforce rate plans or per-application bandwidth limitations in an extremely flexible way.

You have some examples of policies here.

The BQN has several ways to get the bandwidth policies from external systems, such as RADIUS, using our REST API or some of the supported billing connectors.

Network visibility

The BQN platform provides you the key metrics to monitor the quality you are delivering to your users and the quality you are getting from the service providers connecting you to the Internet.
