Aviz Service Nodes provide enhanced network observability in 5G
Aviz Service Nodes (Agent Swarm Network (ASN)) improve network observability by leveraging general-purpose hardware for enhanced performance and cost efficiency. This technology provides essential subscriber intelligence through metadata extraction for various network frameworks.
Master Topology
The Autonomous System Number (ASN) framework supports metadata extraction across 4G-LTE, 5G-NSA, and 5G-SA networks, enabling effective correlation of user and control plane data.
Features validated by Spirent
A significant feature of ASN is Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) capability for effective metadata extraction. Utilizing Interposer Technology (IT), ASN verifies relevant metadata from telecom network interfaces, contributing to data management accuracy.
“The comprehensive metadata extraction and correlation capabilities of ASN are designed to provide unparalleled network insights, ensuring our clients can make informed decisions quickly and accurately.”
Handling Handovers
During 5G network operations, ASN facilitates the handover process by managing the correlation of control and user packets, ensuring continuity of service during transitions between base stations.
Application Identification
Identifying applications within telecommunication traffic is critical for traffic management, Quality of Service (QoS), security, and analytics. ASN employs Deep Packet Inspection to classify applications based on various indicators.
Performance and Scalability
ASN is designed to support up to three million subscribers in 5G environments, processing user plane traffic of 150 Gbps. This capability was validated through performance evaluations simulating real-world conditions.
Spirent Landslide was utilized to emulate large-scale 5G network environments, validating ASN’s performance and scalability.
