What is flightPATH and what is it used for?

Edgenexus flightPATH is a Layer 7 routing engine designed to manage HTTP traffic effectively. It forms part of the jetNEXUS ALB-X load balancer, enabling administrators to create, edit, or delete traffic management rules directly from a user-friendly graphical interface. This capability allows for sophisticated traffic distribution and management based on specific conditions and rules defined within the flightPATH framework.

The tool offers various functionalities that enhance application delivery and security. For instance, flightPATH can modify HTTP headers and manage redirections, enhancing security by masking sensitive information or preventing information leakage by removing certain HTTP headers. It also provides features like the ability to redirect traffic based on error codes, which helps maintain smooth and efficient web operations.

Furthermore, flightPATH’s advanced features include content switching at Layer 7, which allows decisions on traffic routing to be made based on the content of incoming requests, enhancing the adaptability and efficiency of the load-balancing process. This is particularly useful for applications requiring intelligent management of diverse and dynamic web traffic patterns. The integration of such features ensures that Edgenexus flightPATH provides not just load balancing but a comprehensive suite of tools for optimizing application delivery and security.
