Aviz Networks has released Aviz Service Node (ASN) R2.4, expanding cloud-native deployment options and adding traffic visibility features such as VLAN retention for VXLAN and DPI-based application categorization, alongside updated analytics dashboards.

Research Overview

ASN R2.4 is presented as a release focused on network intelligence, session visibility, and deployment flexibility for telco and enterprise environments. The update covers enhanced traffic visibility and accuracy, observability improvements, and platform and performance enhancements.

The article frames the work around monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing distributed networks using more detailed traffic inspection and cloud-oriented acquisition methods.

Key Findings

The release adds VLAN retention for VXLAN traffic to preserve VLAN information during VXLAN de-encapsulation for consistent TAP and ingress point visibility. It also introduces advanced DPI with payload-aware inspection and application categorization across categories including AI, streaming, and messaging.

On the analytics side, the article states that an enhanced ViZ Dashboard includes Kibana integration and dedicated dashboards for telco control plane and user plane, subscriber sessions, and data center and broadband traffic.

Technical Breakdown

For cloud-native expansion, ASN R2.4 supports vASN for cloud deployments as a virtual instance, with support for both DPDK and non-DPDK environments. The article also describes vASN_TAP (vTAP) as a lightweight packet capture agent for workload-level visibility across VMs and cloud workloads, with support for filtering, truncation, and tunneling.

The release includes Terraform-based deployment automation for vASN and vTAP using infrastructure-as-code templates, with the article citing support for Amazon Web Services (AWS). Platform enhancements listed in the article include multi-NIC and flexible datapath support, plus IP services on ASN ports and VXLAN stripping on control plane ports for telco use cases.

Operational Impact

The article positions ASN R2.4 as addressing hybrid and cloud-native network complexity by delivering higher-fidelity session visibility across distributed environments and scalable cloud and workload-level traffic acquisition. It states that advanced DPI and analytics are used to provide actionable insights.

For enterprise operating system compatibility, the article lists RHEL 9.7 compatibility. It also indicates deployment support for on-prem, virtual, cloud, and hybrid models, including operation across both DPDK and non-DPDK environments.

Aviz Service Node ASN R2.4 adds VXLAN-related visibility handling, DPI-based application categorization, cloud deployment components (vASN, vTAP), Terraform deployment templates, Kibana-integrated dashboards, and RHEL 9.7 support for telco and enterprise use cases.
