performance for wide area network connections to remote devices. These features include:
• Authentication Servers
Provide a central database for networks with more than one CyberSWITCH. The central
database consists of manageable, informational data (referred to as the Device List or Device
Table). This data is accessed and used for authentication when a new connection is established
to the system.
• Bandwidth Agility
The system dynamically controls the bandwidth in use between itself and other PPP devices.
This is accomplished by establishing and disconnecting calls. The number of calls is limited

utilization and will add and remove the connections based on user-configurable throughput
parameters. As network bandwidth requirements increase or decrease, the system will
