DAX 1841 Edge Router is meant for mid-sized businesses. It

has two 10/100 LAN ports, supports four WAN slots and has two additional

expansion slots. Its routed ports can be used for connecting a wireless AP as

well as ADSL broadband modems. It has a console port which provides complete

control of the router with command line interface and can also be connected

directly to a PC's RS232 port. It has an MPC8250 200MHz processor with 8MB flash

and an unexpandable 64 MB SD RAM. This router also has an additional IP voice

port for VoIP. DX1841 has all the QoS features such as Selective Packet Discard,

Committed Access Rate (CAR), First Input & First Output (FIFO), Priority

Queue (PQ), and Custom Queue (CQ) in the basic operating software itself thus

saving the cost of extra software for QoS. This router is integrated with

Other security features include IP packet filtering, GRE tunneling and MD5

Authentication. In addition, WAN optimization features such as Inactivity

Timeouts, Traffic Prioritization, DDR (dial-on-demand) routing and filtering,

bandwidth-on-demand (BoD), compression, load balancing and spoofing are also

supported. The device supports routing and multicast routing protocols such as

IGMP v1/v2, PIM-SM and PIM-DM.

We tested this router between two physical networks that

were connected via a switch. We ran NetIQ's Qcheck to measure throughput data

transfer, streaming rate and response time. It gave a throughput of 72 Mbps on

transferring 1000 KB of payload from one end to another. Its response time was

1ms. The router gave 995 Kbps with 1000 Kbps streaming data payload.

Bottom Line: Taking into consideration its price and

performance, this product is worth a buy for mid-sized businesses.
