Cisco Application Control Engine Module
This chapter describes theCisco Application Control Engine (ACE) module (ACE10-6500-K9).
The ACE performs high-performance server load balancing (SLB) among groups of servers, server
farms, firewalls, and other network devices, based on Layer 3 as well as Layer 4 through Layer 7 packet
information. The ACE can also terminate and initiate SSL-encrypted traffic which allows the ACE to
perform intelligent load balancing while ensuring secure end-to-end encryption. The module is capable
of internetworking speeds of 4 Gigabits per second (Gbps) by default, and can achieve speeds of 8 Gbps
with the purchase of an upgrade license.
