Overview
The VIAVI J9021A is the Premium Config 1AC/1DC (12 x 8TB) version of the NITRO Core Traffic Storage Agent (TSA). TSA is a data access agent for NITRO Core that passively monitors control-plane 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. The VIAVI-patented indexing method includes indexing by IMSI, IMEI and MSISDN for fast search and retrieval. Instead of processing all captured traffic continuously, the system supplies traffic associated with specific end-user data sessions or calls to troubleshooting applications on demand.
KPIs and third-party feeds
TSA generates control-plane and user-plane KPIs that drive NITRO Core applications, and provides SMARTmetrics feeds for third-party applications or data lakes. Operators can tailor feed content to output only the data required. Feeds cover both control-plane and user-plane data and are delivered at timed intervals.
Service and application classification
A DPI engine with support for 5,000+ applications identifies end-user services and applications. User-plane records are enriched with service, APN/5G slice, handset, location and subscriber information.
