Custom Hardware Logic

The IG200/IG2000 are purpose-built network appliances that use custom hardware logic to provide optimal price/performance and security effectiveness. A combination of hardware logic and heuristics enable the IG200/IG2000 to function inline at the full-duplex rate (200Mbps/2000Mbps) required for true DDoS protection. IntruGuard's custom hardware logic and a patented architecture monitor thresholds on all L2, L3, L4 or L7 protocol parameters at Gigabit Ethernet Line Rate.

The hardware logic has specialized features for:
  • Anti-spoofing using SYN Cookie, ACK Cookie, SYN Retransmission
  • Connection Limiting
  • Aggressive Aging
  • Legitimate IP Address Matching
  • Source Rate Limiting
  • Source Tracking
  • Granular Rate-limiting and flood detection and prevention at layer 3, 4, and 7
  • Protocol Anomaly Recognition at layer 3, 4 and 7
  • White listing, Black listing, not tracking certain subnets

IntruGuard's technology is covered through multiple US patents
