Wide Area Networks (WAN) White Papers

Optimizing ISP Networks and Services with DNS Redirection

Overview Help desk costs for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are skyrocketing. In fact, for many ISPs, help desk costs rival, or even exceed, WAN bandwidth costs as their single biggest expense item. As ISP's consolidate, larger numbers of subscribers come online and the profile of the typical subscriber changes from technologically sophisticated to technologically challenged, ISPs are faced with an uphill battle. This battle consists of automating end user connectivity regardless of geographic location, optimizing infrasturcture performance and the management and configuration of end user systems.
