Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI J9009A is the premium configuration of the NITRO Core Traffic Storage Agent (TSA) with 12 x 4TB storage, supplied as 1AC/1DC. TSA is a data access agent for NITRO Core that passively monitors control- and user-plane IP traffic and TDM to generate metrics on network, service and customer KPIs (SMARTmetrics). These metrics can feed NITRO Core or third-party KPI applications.

Traffic capture and indexing

TSA captures control-plane traffic frames, writes them to disk and indexes them in real time using a VIAVI-patented indexing method that includes indexing by IMSI, IMEI and MSISDN. Traffic associated with end-user data sessions or calls is supplied to troubleshooting applications on demand, rather than processing all captured traffic continuously.

KPIs and third-party feeds

The agent generates control-plane and user-plane KPIs that drive NITRO Core applications, and provides SMARTmetrics feeds for non-VIAVI applications or data lakes. Feed content can be tailored to output only the data required, and covers both control-plane and user-plane data delivered at timed intervals.

Service and application classification

TSA identifies end-user services and applications using several methods, including a DPI engine with support for more than 5,000 applications. User-plane records are enriched with service, APN/5G slice, handset, location and subscriber information.

Key Features

  • High-performance, compact form factor that stores packets/records locally
  • VIAVI-patented indexing method that captures, stores, and quickly searches and retrieves packet data
  • Indexing by IMSI, IMEI and MSISDN
  • User-plane visibility engine providing application and voice quality metrics
  • VIAVI-patented service, app, and URL categorization covering 5,000+ applications
  • CP/UP KPI generation to drive network performance metrics
  • SMARTmetrics feed for third-party applications or customer data lake
  • On-demand transaction tracing from captured control-plane messages
