TELECOMWORLDWIRE-24 June 2008-APAC Universities shaping network traffic with Procera's PacketLogic PL10000(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Procera Networks Inc (AMEX:PKT), which provides intelligent network traffic identification, control and management solutions for broadband service networks, reported yesterday (23 June) that PL10000, introduced to the PacketLogic family of products, is being used by the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, to provide protection to its network, the users and to manage the network traffic.

Higher education campuses such as Swinburne have large expenditures on Internet capacity per annum and as the traffic increased yearly, so does costs for the next academic year. The University found Procera able to optimise the use of bandwidth throughout their existing infrastructure and therefore extend the lifetime of investments made. It found PacketLogic easy to set-up and install and the intuitive interface has helped to build and maintain rules and policies, taking advantage of PacketLogic's BGP functionality.

Swinburne is reputed to be a career-oriented education centre and as a university committed to research disciplines. Its students, faculty and staff are spread across multiple campuses throughout Melbourne, as well as one in Malaysia.
