As Oracle's strategic layer-7 software load balancer product, Oracle
Traffic Direct is fast, reliable, secure, easy-to-use and scalable; that
you can deploy as the reliable entry point for all TCP, HTTP and HTTPS traffic to application servers and web servers in your network.
The
latest release Oracle Traffic Director 11.1.1.7.0 is available for
ExaLogic and Database Appliance! For download and details please visit the Traffic Director OTN website.
It this release, we have introduced some major new functionality and improvements.
Web application firewall.
Oracle Traffic Director supports web application firewalls. A web
application firewall (WAF) is a filter or server plugin that applies a
set of rules, called rule sets, to an HTTP request. Using a web
application firewall, users can inspect traffic and deny requests to
protect back-end applications from CSRF vulnerabilities and common
attacks such as cross-site scripting.
WebSocket Connections.
Oracle Traffic Director handles WebSocket connections by default.
WebSocket connections are long-lived and allow support for live content,
games in real-time, video chatting, and so on.
Support for LDAP/T3 Load Balancing.
Oracle Traffic Director now supports basic LDAP/T3 load balancing at
layer 7, where requests are handled as generic TCP connections for
traffic tunneling. It works in full-NAT mode.
Please download and try it out. For more information, check out the data sheet and the documentation.
