The latest release of Aviz’s OPBNOS, version 2.8, enhances network traffic management with upgraded features for observability and performance, focusing on efficient handling of network demands.

New Platform Integration

The latest version now includes support for the Celestica DS2000, which utilizes a Broadcom chipset optimized for Open Packet Broker deployments. This integration aims to improve traffic management and monitoring capabilities.

Benefits of this integration include:

  • Traffic Aggregation: Combines data from multiple TAPs and Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) ports for effective processing.
  • Intelligent Filtering: Offers Layer 2, 3, and 4 filtering for targeted traffic analysis.
  • Optimized Traffic Distribution: Allows for the redirection of ports through Link Aggregation Groups, enhancing load balancing.
  • Enhanced Network Observability: Facilitates detailed monitoring of port and flow statistics.
  • Seamless Control: Features integration with OPB Fabric Manager for an intuitive configuration experience.

Port Breakout

This version introduces the capability to split 100G ports into various configurations, such as 4x10G or 2x50G, accommodating specific network requirements efficiently.

Additional highlights include:

  • Broad Hardware Support: Compatibility with several platforms, including NVIDIA and Broadcom.
  • Ingress and Egress Capabilities: Enhances traffic aggregation from lower-speed links and enables distribution of higher-speed traffic.

These features aim to improve network observability while managing hardware costs.

GTP Extension Header Filtering

The OPBNOS R2.8 release also introduces support for GTPU extension headers, which bolsters network observability in mobile environments. This is relevant as mobile networks transition to advanced 4G and 5G applications.

Key enhancements include:

  • Support for Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Session Container for improved Quality of Service (QoS) and network efficiency.
  • Inner Header-Based Filtering: Allows granular control over traffic using IPv4, IPv6, and protocol parameters.
  • Intelligent Load Balancing: Aims to optimize network resource distribution across telecom users.
  • Advanced Traffic Monitoring: Supports a more effective analysis and management of mobile data flows.

Conclusion

The release of OPBNOS R2.8 introduces a series of enhancements focused on network monitoring and scalability. The expanded integration with various platforms and improved traffic handling is designed for seamless operation within network environments.

This summary encapsulates the updates regarding Aviz’s OPBNOS, emphasizing its role in facilitating network observability and compliance for enterprises and service providers.
