Background & Challenges
Enterprises face cybersecurity challenges. Inline inspection and control tools help block threats, but they increase network complexity and potential failure points, which can impact service continuity.
Solutions
BYPASS optical protection devices provide automatic bypass for inline appliances. When an inline event is about to trigger a single point of failure, BYPASS detects it through real-time interaction and triggers protection to switch transmission paths around the fault node.
Operating Modes
Primary Path (Online)
Traffic is processed normally through inline security appliances
Bypass State
Automatically switches when inline appliance failure is detected, allowing traffic to pass through bypass
