Reduce the amount of traffic to the monitoring tools
XGB A-818/A-820 at a glance
- L5-L7 GTP session aware filtering
- GTP session based load balancing
- GTP subscriber based sampling
- Complete visibility into subscriber experience
Aster XGB A-818/A-820 Load Balancer and Adapter consistently reduce the amount of traffic to the monitoring tools, while keeping the integrity of the user data flows intact.
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 filtering and sampling capabilities.
Aster XGB A-818/A-820 can filter GTP traffic session-based and feed the monitoring tools with the amount of traffic they support, at the same time sending all the flows belonging to the same subscriber to the same probe. Furthermore they perform session aware sampling, sending the requested amount of traffic to the output ports by keeping intact subscriber’s flows. Sampling percentage available are 25%, 50%, 75%.
- Reduce CAPEX investments on traditional monitoring solution, as you can keep using your current tools by simply reducing their input load;
- Ensure complete visibility into subscriber experience as XGB Load Adapter can filter all the incoming traffic performing session-aware correlation of the whole GTP traffic;
- Support 100Gb/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
