Handle application traffic at a maximum throughput of 40 Gbps with an Alteon D-6300HD hardware load-balancing platform configured for HPP performance. This configuration targets data-center application delivery environments where the traffic tier must be sized at 40 Gbps. As a hardware platform, it places application traffic handling in a dedicated appliance rather than on a general-purpose host. Cisco RD-6300HD-40G-HP identifies the D-6300HD configuration carrying the HPP performance designation and 40 Gbps throughput tier. Those identifiers matter when matching an existing Alteon environment or selecting the required performance level for an application delivery deployment. The 40 Gbps rating is the defining measurable characteristic of this configuration. Use this load balancer where application services require traffic distribution through a dedicated Alteon platform and the deployment calls for 40 Gbps maximum throughput. It fits data-center service paths that need a specified application-traffic capacity without substituting a lower performance tier. The D-6300HD platform designation, HPP configuration, and 40 Gbps maximum throughput distinguish this hardware configuration within the Alteon family.
