Killing off the application-independent internet Allot Communications, an Israeli outfit which does high-end bandwidth shaping and network traffic management gear, has brought out an even bigger Service Gateway device. Aimed at the service provider (SP) or large enterprise, this is capable of handling over 20 Gbit/s of traffic.â¦

(Source: Ipanema Technologies)  This paper looks at the three key reasons why some applications do not perform well over the WAN. It then describes a list of pitfalls and tips that any network manager should be aware of when designing a WAN acceleration strategy. Finally, it describes how Ipanema is tackling the application performance challenge with an integrated approach covering optimization, acceleration and visibility.

Most ISPs actively engage in traffic shaping, bandwidth throttling, connection sniping or some attempt to keep the bandwidth consumed by high-traffic applications on their networks to a minimum. While this often ensures better performance for the neighborhood, it can mean painfully slow transfer speeds for those dabbling in BitTorrent -- legit or not. Here's how to beat the ISPs.

Mike Willbanks has posted an introduction he's written up giving some helpful hints at tuning your servers and PHP applications for performance.   The focus of this post is not to show performance related items to specific PHP frameworks since many bottlenecks actually apply before running the framework itself that should certainly be solved up front. Therefore in this posting I attempt to look at simple items that can be deployed in order to produce finer tuned systems.  He talks about a few different aspects:  PHP Performance Tuning (opcode caching, apc file priming, includes, loops, etc) RDBMS Performance Tuning (indexes in queries, query caching, archiving) HTTP Performance Tuning (content compression, css sprites, limit modules, etc)
