Case Study: Peking University accelerates campus network performance with Huawei USG9500

University Network Keeps Students Up to Speed

Peking University faced growing campus network traffic and complex routing challenges as its legacy CERNET-based network was stretched by rising demand. To balance outgoing and incoming traffic, the university needed better link selection, redundancy, NAT support for applications like FTP and SIP, and a scalable, reliable edge solution. Huawei’s USG9500 firewall platform was deployed to help address these requirements.

With Huawei’s USG9500, Peking University upgraded to a distributed, high-performance network edge that supports policy-based routing, NAT ALG, and automatic failover. The solution improved both inbound and outbound access speeds, supported more than 90,000 connected computers and 25,000 peak-hour users, and handled 8G of bi-directional traffic while enhancing security and future scalability for IPv6 and network growth.
