Overview

The VIAVI J9001C is the Base Config of the NITRO Core Traffic Analysis Agent (TAA), a 1U appliance that serves as a data access agent within the NITRO Core analytics and assurance portfolio for mobile service providers. NITRO Core takes a subscriber-centric approach, providing service-focused, proactive and unified workflows that deliver correlated, application-aware insights.

Traffic processing

The TAA captures control-plane traffic frames and generates control-plane and user-plane (CP/UP) Key Performance Indicators. These KPIs serve as inputs for NITRO Core applications and drive network performance metrics. Where storage of packets or records is required, VIAVI directs operators to the NITRO Core Traffic Storage Agent (TSA) instead; the TAA is intended for deployments where no packet or record storage is needed.

Third-party feeds

In addition to supporting NITRO Core applications, the TAA can supply SMARTmetrics data to third-party applications or data lakes. Operators can tailor the feed content to output only the data required, and feeds cover both control-plane and user-plane data delivered at timed intervals.

Service and application classification

The TAA identifies end-user services and applications using several methods, including a DPI engine supporting more than 5,000 applications. User-plane records are enriched with service, APN/5G slice, handset, location and subscriber information to support KPI-based monitoring and troubleshooting together with the CEA and Performance Explorer apps.

Key Features

  • High performance, compact form factor when no packet/record storage is required
  • Fast response and high granularity user-plane visibility engine providing application and voice quality metrics
  • Patented service, app and URL categorization process covering 5,000+ applications
  • CP/UP KPI generation to drive network performance metrics
  • SMARTmetrics feed for third-party applications or customer data lake
  • Identifies user-plane applications in use and determines end-user quality of experience (QoE)
  • User-plane record enrichment by service, APN/5G slice, handset, location and subscriber
  • Supports 2G, 3G, 4G (LTE), 5G, VoLTE/IMS and VoNR
