Configure an Alteon D-5424SL application-delivery deployment for the 22 Gbps performance tier used where load balancing and traffic handling require a defined capacity level. Cisco RD-5424SL-22G-P combines the D-5424SL platform designation with the Perform 22G designation, clearly identifying the intended performance class for an Alteon deployment. Within an application delivery architecture, this tier applies to the traffic-processing role rather than to an access-switch port count. It fits at the service edge, where an application delivery controller distributes client traffic across application resources and applies load-balancing policy. The explicit 22 Gbps label is the material distinction for environments sizing an Alteon platform around aggregate traffic capacity. Use this configuration where the D-5424SL platform is required with a 22 Gbps performance designation. Its focus is application traffic handling and load balancing, not endpoint connectivity. The named performance tier gives architects a direct capacity reference when defining the role of the application delivery controller between clients and hosted services. This makes it appropriate for deployments that need to align application availability architecture with a stated traffic-performance level.
