RainConnect Listing updated: August 14, 2002

RainConnect distributes traffic among multiple ISP links from different upstream providers and provides Internet link failover and bandwidth throughput aggregation. RainConnect software installs behind the access router on standard, off-the-shelf server hardware or on an ISA Server firewall, and does not require any special cooperation between Internet service providers or border gateway protocol (BGP). RainConnect allows ISA Server to have multiple external interfaces, manages IP traffic across different address spaces, and deals with Network Address Translation to ensure that connections and sessions are maintained. Additional RainConnect features include Internet access failure detection, optimal ISP path selection, Network Address Translation and DNS host name resolution.
