Introduction

Thank you for choosing Expand Networks to help manage and optimize your applications and network. Expand Networks is proud to introduce AcceleratorOS 6.3.0, the latest WAN Optimization release, as its newest GA version.

Of the vast number of new features and enhancements, below lists some of the new features and enhancements inherent in this release only.

Note that new features and enhancements released in earlier versions of AcceleratorOS are documented in previous Release Notes corresponding with those specific releases.

Expand Networks would like to thank you for your participation in this release and as always would greatly value any feedback you may have. We all look forward towards a successful launch.

New in This Release

Accelerator 3830/3930

Expand is proud to introduce its new low-end platform in this release at a low price range. With its compact form factor, the 3830/3930 is ideal as a portable appliance, a small office or retail branch, with or without rack space. The 3830 and 3930 is offered as either flash, or hard-drive platforms. This new line fully supports all Accelerator functionalities including: acceleration, WAFS, QoS, compression, monitoring and reporting. The 3830/3930 performs up to 2Mbps compression and supports up to 100 remote Accelerators.

TCP Acceleration Enhancements

Expand‟s congestion avoidance has been enhanced to now support Hybla. TCP Hybla aims to eliminate penalization of TCP connections that incorporate a high-latency terrestrial or satellite link, due to their longer round trip times. It performs an analytical evaluation of the congestion window, and suggests the necessary modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.

Accelerator 6850/6950 Fiber Offering

The Accelerator 6850 and the Accelerator 6950, for the Datacenter now supports a fiber interface in addition to the copper interface. The fiber interface consists of two LC multi-mode fiber ports.

WAFS

CIFS Multiplexing solution is now supported allowing the performance of transactions with several different domain users on the same connection.

Additional Enhancements

IPSec version has been updated to now support large-scale deployments

1GB compact flash cards are now supported

Upgrade process enhancements to facilitate debugging.

New in 6.3 Beta 1 Release

Enhanced VMware Support

Deployed on VMware Server version 1.0 and 2.0, ESX version 3.5 and up and ESXi version 3.0 and up, the Virtual Accelerator fully integrates into the virtual infrastructure.

Scalability is achieved by running multiple instances of the Virtual Accelerator on one or multiple physical servers. The Virtual Accelerator fully supports VMware utilities and tools such as VMotion, HA, DRS and snapshot creation. The Virtual Accelerator also supports vSphere 4.0, VMware‟s latest release with additional VMware utilities such as Fault Tolerance and data recovery.

In addition, the Virtual Accelerator has full licensing server support via a connection to a stand-alone licensing server which it automatically recognizes and connects to within the network.

SAT Enhancements

In order to improve our best of breed WAN Optimization solution for applications used over a link, the new release introduces a bundle of enhancements focusing on this solution. The enhancements include:

Ease of Use and Configuration

Auto TCP Acceleration configuration- Up to today, TCP Acceleration was configured on each Accelerator separately and manually. With version 6.3.0, when creating the link for the first time on an end-point that has no global TCP acceleration configuration, TCP Acceleration will be configured for that specific link if that link is configured on the other side as well. Furthermore, when enabling TCP Acceleration on that link, for the first time, the system will support TCP-Acceleration configuration also on the remote end. All TCP acceleration parameters will be configured on the link..

Auto-RTT - When enabling TCP Acceleration on a link, the RTT setting by default is Auto. As such, the system will test the latency to the end point and will thereafter automatically set the RTT based on its results. This ensures the system will always operate with an accurate RTT.

Auto typical acceleration rate- with this feature, the system checks every two minutes the link‟s acceleration and updates the typical acceleration rate accordingly. With this addition, the window size is optimized thereby further accelerating traffic over the WAN.




Web Caching Web caching has become increasingly crucial for high latency SAT environments. As part of our continued support in these environments, web caching will be supported on a non-HD device, a 4GB reliable flash drive. The support includes our line of non hard-drive platforms - ACC1610, ACC3830, ACC4830, ACC6830, and ACC6850.

VDI/SBC

Many VDI and SBC deployments use RDP as their underlying transport protocol. RDP typically underperforms over WAN links with medium and high latencies, suffering heavily from bandwidth congestion, and making WAN optimization even more essential. In cases where RDP is encrypted or compressed, WAN optimization is either limited in its effect or in a worse cases, becomes altogether ineffective. The new RDP Proxy solves this by analyzing RDP traffic, disabling compression, and reducing the encryption to its lowest value, thereby delivering a better user experience. Additional enhancements aimed to promote the VDI and SBC markets include:

Citrix/ICA channel identification - This includes classification by published applications.

RDP L7 classification. RDP is classified with attributes including: Client Name, Channel Name, Version (4 and 5 or higher), and Encryption Level.

Updated PoAA values for thin client – PoAA values have been updated such that the threshold is set to the Link‟s MTU and the limit is set to half the Link's MTU

Multi-hop Routing

Release 6.3.0. introduces load balancing support in the Accelerator which enables routing outgoing traffic to multiple next hops. This feature allows improved support of sites with multiple routers and allows utilizing the multi-port capabilities of the ACC6X50.

WAFS Enhancements

Version 6.3.0 introduces WAFS transparency support for Vista and Windows 7 (with Kerberos authentication). An additional WAFS enhancement includes WAFS licensing support which is now fully incorporated into the Accelerator license and will be activated via the same license key as that of the Accelerator. Also new to WAFS, is the support of CIFS over TCP port 445.

New Decision Mechanism

A new decision mechanism has been introduced to provide an improved marking infrastructure as AcceleratorOS marks packets and sessions. The main improvements include additional marking capabilities

With this new decision mechanism in place, it is now possible to mark specific applications as do-not-tcp-accelerate or do-tcp-accelerate under TCP acceleration exclusion feature.

In addition, marking of Diffserv values are available on a per application basis (enabling the use of QoS policy rules per Diffserv class).

Additional Enhancements

Additional enhancements provided in this version include:

Licensing is supported for QoS, TCP Acceleration, Web Caching, in addition to IPsec, L7QoS, WAFS and Bandwidth

The user interface has undergone naming improvements to facilitate usage and usability.

Timezone - The date and time can now be configured along with the relevant timezone




Upgrade of OpenSSL version to version 0.9.8k

Upgrade of Apache Web Server from 1.3.39 to 1.3.41

5. When upgrading from 6.0.0, the following changes and enhancements to Web Acceleration should be noted:

The default cache sizes for HTTP and FTP Acceleration services were fine-tuned to provide optimal acceleration in the general case.

Cache size values that have been manually configured will be retained during the upgrade. If the cache size configuration has not been changed from its initial default value, the new default cache size will be automatically set after the upgrade.

The actual cache size value is both feature and platform-dependent, but in general will be smaller than the default value of the cache size in 6.0.0.

If the amount of cacheable HTTP traffic that passes through the Accelerator is larger than that of generic WAN traffic, it is advisable to fine-tune the Web Acceleration cache size.

AOS-6843 Subnets detected by non-native VLAN interfaces and RIP/OSPF cannot be reached.

AOS-6833 It is not possible to create a virtual link to local subnets that were detected by OSPF. For a possible workaround, the status of the subnet can be manually changed to „do not advertise,‟ delete the subnet and recreate the virtual link.

AOS-6794 If a VLAN interface (native tagged) was configured, using the RIP protocol does not update route rules.

AOS-6750 After adding or deleting native VLAN interfaces, all previously defined ARP entries that were manually added will be removed from the ARP table.

AOS-6749 Adding an ARP entry while a native VLAN tagged interface exists is not possible.

AOS-5622 DHCP requests t receive the IP address of hosts from a server across the Expand link do not work. To work around this problem, the bootp and bootps applications should be set with 'Do not tunnel' decisions.

WAFS

AOS-16105 do-not-TCP accelerate is not supported for WAFS and RDP and Web cache proxies.

AOS-15251 Deleting a printer does not delete its associated port on the FB

AOS-15177 Following an upgrade, _dsmonit setup should be restarted.

AOS-12706 The replication user gets locked on the DC in cases where replication has started.

AOS-12962 Limit quota per share doesn't work with WAFS

AOS-11578 Adding a printer using add printer wizard isn‟t supported using Vista

AOS-10213 The WAFS service may fail to stop when issuing the service stop command. The status of the WAFS service should be checked by using the service status command.

AOS-10800 Authentication may fail if the name of the FB is the same as the NetBIOS name of the domain.

AOS-8732 Cannot refer to Share called "Global".

AOS-8318 When a virtual server is configured in the FileBank, once the connectivity is established, the FileBank discovers the virtual server. The virtual server will not be properly discovered if a File Server that also acts as a domain controller has the same name as the file server. Virtual name differentiation can be achieved




by means of file server alias (FileBank Director side), and/or virtual server suffix/prefix/virtual-alias (FileBank side).

AOS-8214 Fetch jobs and replication paths should not use DFS paths, but should use the exported virtual server names in their paths.

AOS-8064 WAFS configuration popup has different timeout than main WebUI session.

AOS-4247 When WAFS logs are cleared using the „log clear‟ CLI, replication tasks are aborted.

Web Acceleration

AOS-8693 Regular expressions in Web Acceleration rules may not include the "," character.

AOS-8931 User may experience slow response when repeatedly refreshing pages when Microsoft ISA™ proxy and NTLM authentication are configured. To overcome this issue, reconfigure the Microsoft ISA™ proxy.

VACC/Upgrade/Other

AOS-17322 Keepalive dialer flushes the acceleratation core when it redials resulting in slower performance.

AOS-17261 There may be some errors on the console during the upgrade process indicating “Got Route Loop”

AOS-16919 When changing the time zone in the CLI or WebUI, the change needs to be saved for the logs to be in synch.

AOS-16921, AOS-15986

VACC – local subnets should be added to the accelerator

AOS-16464 Decision is not enforced properly on Citrix published application attribute
