Aviz Service Nodes R2.0 Enhances Network Capabilities

April 28, 2025

In today’s network landscape, staying ahead means continuously evolving. Building on the trusted foundation of previous releases—including the robust Telco features of 1.3.1—we introduce R2.0. This release brings enhanced performance and functionality to enterprise and Telco networks.

What’s New in R2.0

In R2.0, we’Visualization Engine (VE) focused on adding value for our customers. Here’s a brief look at what you can expect:

  • Enterprise & Telco Readiness: Fully ASN-ready for deployment across large-scale networks.
  • Packet Deduplication for Dual Connectivity (DC): Optimizes network performance by eliminating redundant Packet processing.
  • Advanced Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) for Internet Protocol Packets: Utilizes deep Packet inspection for precise Application identification.
  • Enhanced Packet Capture: Provides robust support for both Telco and enterprise environments.

5G Core Advancements

Autonomous System Number (ASN) 2.0 is designed to handle the scale and complexity of both enterprise and telecom networks, ensuring operational efficiency. It processes incoming telecommunication traffic, extracting critical metadata from 4G-LTE, 5G-NSA, and 5G-SA networks, providing visibility for mobile operators and service providers. With intelligent control-plane (C-Plane) and user-plane (U-Plane) correlation, ASN enables tracking of subscriber sessions and service quality metrics. Enhanced Key Performance indicator (KPI) monitoring delivers precision for Bandwidth and latency calculations, ensuring network optimization. Optimized Kafka metadata export improves data accuracy and reduces processing latency.

Packet Deduplication

This new Packet deduplication feature is designed to streamline data flow. Removing redundant packets boosts processing efficiency and improves real-time network analytics.

  • Deduplication Process: Traffic is continuously analyzed with a granularity of up to 8 milliseconds, enabling rapid detection of duplicate packets. The process begins by inspecting ingress packets for familiarity based on their type and fields. If a Packet exists within the defined time frame, it is identified as a duplicate and dropped. Users can configure the Packet Source to filter out redundant traffic across multiple hops. Anchor & Offset settings define where and how Packet data is compared, while the Window Size ensures real-time deduplication.

Application Identification with Advanced DPI

With ASN 2.0, we extend to deliver Internet Protocol network observability, making ASN a solution for data center, edge, and campus networks. By leveraging Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), ASN can classify over 500 applications at line rate, extracting network intelligence for traffic analysis and security. ASN’s advanced DPI engine uses multiple methods to identify applications with high accuracy.

Additionally, enhanced KPI monitoring in ASN 2.0 delivers precision for Bandwidth and latency metrics, while optimized Kafka metadata export ensures faster processing. A snapshot of our Kibana dashboard showcases metadata extracted by ASN along with Application insights.

Comprehensive Packet Capture

Effective troubleshooting and network analysis are supported by enhanced Packet capture capabilities. Designed for both enterprise and Telco deployments, this feature allows teams to diagnose and resolve issues quickly. ASN 2.0 allows users to configure interface capture settings, selecting specific ports for Tx/Rx traffic analysis. Capture duration can be set between 1-10,000 ms, with a file size limit of 1-1,000 MB. Users can define filenames for captured data and enable automatic cleanup of old PCAP files.

Enhanced Packet capture capabilities enable users to generate live traffic in PCAP format for real-time network analysis.

Real-World Impact: Benefits You Can See

R2.0 is designed to provide optimized performance, clear Application identification, and efficient troubleshooting. This release reflects our commitment to network observability and supports your journey in enterprise and Telco networking.
