Juniper Touches VoIP at least Two Ways
When it comes to security, routing and providign enhanced network services, sometime it's really wise to think beyond Cisco.
Juniper's IDP 4.0 Fights VoIP, Database AttacksI have an old friend and colleague who's VP Technical Operations at Juniper APAC. I'm going to drop him a line and see if we can't find to to chat about what Juniper is up to in terms of VoIP security and Quality of Service.

Juniper Networks Monday rolled out upgrades to its intrusion detection/ prevention and security management software that give administrators better visibility into the network and more control over applications.
In addition to the ability to identify and block threats to the network, Juniper's Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) 4.0 analyzes traffic to determine what applications are being used and can block potential threats from non-business-critical applications such as peer-to-peer and instant messaging, said Sanjay Beri, director of product management at Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Juniper.
Juniper's IDP 4.0 includes new protocol anomaly engines that provide application control and protection for VoIP and cellular data networks, as well as an anomaly engine that identifies potential database attacks, according to Beri.
A feature called Application Intelligent QoS lets administrators set levels of priority for all applications on a network, and passes intelligence and application knowledge from Layer 7 to a router for bandwidth enforcement, Beri said. "This assures availability of network bandwidth for business-critical applications," he said.
