How PfR reroutes traffic and protects application performance during the brown-out? Which applications are affected by a brown-out? Which service provider is having a brown-out issue? What traffic is moved from one provider to another? Graphically and easily define QoS policies so PfR can use them to load balance or protect application performance during a fail over How Can LiveAction Help Manage the IWAN Environment ?
