Correlation and Balancing of GTP traffic data
XGB A-718/A-720 at a glance
- Stateful correlation of GTP-C and GTP-U messages
- Session based GTP-U GTP-C load balancing
- Complete visibility into subscriber experience
Aster XGB (eXpert GTP Balancer) A-718/A-720 allow telecom operators to monitor the whole incoming GTP traffic, simply by adding new probes to the existing ones, and make the most of them thanks to Aster XGB A-718/A-720 session aware balancing capabilities.
They implement a powerful GTP correlation engine, which performs stateful correlation of GTP-C with GTP-U messages, based both on the subscriber ID (IMSI) and the corresponding tunnel ID (TEID), with session-aware load balancing distribution to the output port.
While Aster A-718 manages up to 40×1/10 Gb/s ports, Aster A-720 has the capability to manage also 2×100 Gb/s interfaces, key feature to cope with deployments where NEs uses 100Gb/s interfaces.
- Face the dramatic explosion of GTP data traffic, by leveraging your existing Monitoring System, as you can simply add more probes to manage ever growing data loads
- Ensure complete visibility into subscriber experience as XGB balances all the incoming traffic (GTP & no-GTP), performing session-aware correlation of the GTP part
- Support 100 Gb/s interfaces which are currently used by service providers to cope with ever growing traffic
- Easy to order, all ports enabled, no additional licences needed
