Route application sessions through a 100 Gbps Alteon configuration when a load-balancer tier requires the D-7700DS platform and its HPP performance designation. Application delivery controllers operate in the traffic path ahead of application services, providing a control point for directing requests across the application environment. This product is classified for load-balancer deployments and carries the Alteon D-7700DS designation used for the appliance platform. Its 100 Gbps performance designation is the principal capacity attribute associated with this configuration. Place the appliance at an application-delivery boundary where traffic must pass through a dedicated application delivery controller before reaching service nodes. The D-7700DS naming identifies the platform, while HPP identifies the performance configuration included in the product description. This distinction matters when standardizing a load-balancing tier around a defined platform and throughput class rather than selecting a general network switch or router. RD-7700DS-100G-HP identifies the specific D-7700DS configuration carrying the 100 Gbps HPP designation. The combination of Alteon platform naming, D-7700DS model designation, and 100 Gbps performance level distinguishes this configuration within the Alteon application delivery controller range. It is intended for deployments that need an appliance-class load-balancing component with a clearly stated throughput tier.
