Product description
Aster A-XFE is Microtel Innovation top performing appliance for mobile data traffic Advanced Packet Brokering, powered by a double Network Processor fabric, supporting up to 20X100 Gb/s ports. Combined with the Streamliner Suite applications, A-XFE works as a powerful Advanced Packet Broker with GTP balancing and filtering functionalities, also providing Advanced Packet Manipulation (APM) capabilities. It allows for top perfomances, with 20X100 Gb/s input/output ports, and up to 200 Gb/s total GTP traffic to be correlated and filtered. |

Highlights
- Faces the dramatic explosion of GTP data traffic, also in case it is overcoming 100 Gb/s in the same site, by leveraging the existing Monitoring System, making possible to load balance the traffic towards more than one probe
- Ensures complete visibility into subscriber experience, since it can statefull filter all the incoming traffic, performing session-aware correlation of GTP traffic
- A few examples of session-aware filtering: IMSI session based filtering (White/Black List), VoLTE filtering , Video traffic filtering
- Future-proof: 20X100/40 Gb/s in/out ports are available, ready for the upcoming network capacity improvements
- Combines GTP session-aware balancing and filtering with Network Packet Broker advanced capabilities, like Packet Deduplication, Header Stripping and Slicing
