Module description

The Ruckus Virtual SmartZone-Dataplane (vSZ-D) offers organizations more flexibility in deploying the dataplane as needed in a Network Function Virtualization (NFV) architecture aligned fashion. It offers secure tunneling of user data traffic that encrypts payload traffic, maintains flat network topology, enables mobility across L2 subnets, and offers differentiated per site policy control and QoS amongst others.
