Vro: Performance contest

The performance of a vro determines the efficiency of the vro and the amount of data and applications that you consider when creating a network. The hardware forwarding method greatly improves the data transmission latency and ensures the smooth operation of enterprises' core services.
Redundancy and stability. While considering the high performance of the router, the hardware redundancy and Stability of the router must also be taken into account. A fully redundant design of the router product will greatly improve the operation reliability of the equipment, at the same time, stable software systems also ensure user applications.
Interface type. Considering the continuity and compatibility of enterprise network construction and the high-speed bandwidth of current broadband applications, the main interfaces of the core router should consider the types of interfaces that can be simultaneously supported by a device, for example, hundreds of megabytes of Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, ATM interface, and high-speed POS interface for various copper and optical fiber interfaces.
Select the number of ports. Generally, dozens of ports are sufficient for small and medium-sized enterprises. For large enterprises, statistics are generally made based on the number of specific network segments, and the development of enterprise networks is predicted and then selected, from dozens of ports to hundreds of ports, users can make reasonable choices based on actual needs.
Supported open standard protocols and features. When selecting a vro, you must take into account the open standard protocols supported by the vro. The open standard protocol represents a good prerequisite for device interconnection. The supported protocols also mean flexible and efficient design. To improve efficiency, some manufacturers will develop some private protocols. You are advised to choose based on your own needs when choosing these features. At the same time, consider avoiding the adoption of such technologies in core technologies, because the unstandard Protocol means that different device vendors are not compatible with each other, the user is stuck in one device supplier. At the same time, non-standard protocols are often replaced by new open protocols in history.
Difficulty in selecting management methods. Vrosoho management is very important. At present, there are three types of vro configurations: one is a silly vro that does not need to be configured, mainly for the home SOHO family; the second is the Web configuration interface, which is mainly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The other is to use the terminal to directly configure the port connecting to the router through the dedicated configuration line. Because the newly purchased vro configuration file is empty, after you purchase a vro, you generally use this method to configure the basic device. This vro is intended for large enterprises and professional users, configuration and management can only be performed by trained professionals.
Pay attention to your special needs. Enterprise users need to set different traffic guarantees for users, network segments, applications, or interfaces to ensure different levels of services for different applications or to count the traffic of a certain type of users, therefore, we need to take into account the service quality assurance system and traffic control characteristics of the router, and whether the IP billing function is available.
