KEY FEATURES
- Enables monitoring solutions to scale by offloading the correlation of subscriber data from monitoring probes
- Samples and filters GTP sessions to reduce traffic sent to probes
- Automatically detects probe failure and redistributes the traffic until the probe recovers
- Delivers uninterrupted traffic distribution in demanding telecommunications environments
- Provides enough headroom for the solution to grow with the end user
- Improves network-visibility infrastructure ROI
Intelligent Distribution and Control of Mobile Network Traffic
PROBLEM: UNWIELDY MOBILE TRAFFIC—AND COSTS
For mobile carriers, network service dependability and customer experience are critical to success. But while network probes can provide visibility into wireless core networks, these devices have limited capacity and may not withstand fluctuating mobile subscriber traffic. At the same time, underloading network probes can create additional costs. Only by striking the right balance can carriers improve visibility into wireless networks while controlling costs.
SOLUTION: MAXIMIZED NETWORK PROBES FOR MAXIMUM BENEFITS
The Ixia GTP Session Controller 7433 helps service providers maximize network probes and capacity while improving visibility into wireless core networks. The solution effectively identifies and tracks mobile subscribers and load balances that the network probes by enforcing capacity and rate limits for each customer, even as mobile traffic rates fluctuate. If the controller detects faulty or overloaded monitoring probes, it automatically redistributes the load to other probes in the cluster. As a result, monitoring probes are able to focus on Quality of Experience (QoE) analysis rather than spend cycles trying to reassemble GTP session traffic.
