Packeteer Learning Center
This stuff has been carefully lifted and consolidated from the Packeteer website (hey, they said we could do it!) and does a fine job of educating you on the ins and outs of traffic management and packet shaping. Bookmark this page and refer to it whenever you need.

Application Discovery List
Packeteer automatically discovers hundreds of applications, with a flexible architecture to define thousands of application traffic types. Leveraging its Layer 7 visibility, Packeteer identifies the true nature of traffic based on a variety of characteristics, including application signature, URL, HTTP content type, IP address and more. Use Packeteer's application-layer visibility to then manage application performance and control the utilization of network resources.
LAN Expansion Module & Fiber Bypass Switch
PacketSeeker and PacketShaper offer visibility into networked application performance and the ability to control it when needed. They monitor and manage traffic at WAN access links, ensuring a smooth flow that maximizes throughput and speeds critical traffic. The LAN Expansion Module (LEM) extends these benefits to topologies that incorporate multiple LANs. The Fiber Bypass Switch enables passthrough for fiber connections.
PacketCare Service and Support Datasheet
Packeteer backs their products and with mission critical applications, you'll want to protect your investments with special service policies.
PacketShaper System Datasheet
Packeteer's Application Traffic Management System gives IT managers a powerful, flexible tool that monitors, controls, and accelerates WAN traffic based on business priorities. This document serves up the features and benefits and deliniates and compares the individual PacketShaper models.
PacketShaper/ISP Datasheet
PacketShaper® 9500, and 10000 models accommodate Packeteer's PacketWise ISP edition software to provide vital IP bandwidth provisioning and management solutions for service providers. PacketWise ISP meets service providers' demands for a high-capacity solution that delivers differentiated services, ensures fair and equal access, enforces user policies, and improves profit margins.
Packeteer 1200 Datasheet
The Packeteer 1200 integrates four powerful network resource solutions in a single unit so you don't have to. To match Packeteer's full benefit, you'd have to invest in four separate products with four disparate technologies from four different vendors, and then some.
ReportCenter and PolicyCenter for Centralized Management
Packeteer’s centralized management software leverages powerful monitoring and control capabilities to ensure that WAN application performance is managed across a distributed enterprise from the convenience of a single location. With centralized information collection, analysis, reporting, and policy management, Packeteer ensures that application performance and bandwidth utilization are constantly aligned in support of the organization's priorities.
SkyX Accelerator Datasheet
When applications bog down, it often takes more than added bandwidth to speed things along. TCP protocol design, high latency, and lost packets hinder an application’s ability to ramp to required connection speeds. Mentat SkyX overcomes these issues – including inherent TCP limitations – to ramp flows, fully utilize links, and keep information moving.
Enhancing MPLS Traffic
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is here to stay. Recent surveys indicate that the majority of large organizations have either changed to MPLS-based IP VPNs (virtual private networks) or intend to change soon. Most businesses make the move to take advantage of different classes of service to ensure appropriate application performance.

Network Monitoring + Bandwidth Management: PacketShaper®
Learn how to fix the problems PacketShaper uncovers. Leverage application-layer monitoring by applying appropriate bandwidth management techniques to control network traffic: From admission policies and dynamic bandwidth provisioning to TCP and UDP rate control to packet marking (MPLS, Diffserv, 802.1 p/q, ISL, IP TOS, etc.).
Network Monitoring + Bandwidth Management + Compression: PacketShaper Xpress™
Discover the benefits of applying compression to WAN traffic that is already tightly monitored and controlled - from optimizing throughput and removing repetitive data to extending existing bandwidth and avoiding costly link upgrades.
Centralized Management: PolicyCenter
Learn how to administer policy-based bandwidth management from one central location for Packeteer units deployed throughout a distributed WAN.
Centralized Management: ReportCenter™
Learn how to aggregate performance analysis from Packeteer units deployed throughout a distributed WAN - from one central location.
