Network Performance Modules
Accedian Network Performance Modules provide an innovative way to add key Performance Assurance features addressing the full end-to-end service lifecycle such as Service Activation Testing, Continuous Performance Monitoring, Remote Troubleshooting and Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) to deployed Carrier Ethernet & IP Services.
The ant Module employs a fully-featured FPGA capable of active Ethernet testing and traffic generation, in a compact, power-efficient footprint—without compromising performance, scalability, and precision. This makes Accedian Modules an ideal fit for cost and space-sensitive applications, where performance is a key service differentiator.
The ant with advanced features support leverages the same capabilities as the first generation device, and is built with the ability to support more advanced features such as traffic management (regulators, QoS, policing, VLAN tag manipulation), fine-grained flow metering (bandwidth monitoring), and FlowBROKER—the unique remote packet capture functionality available with the SkyLIGHT VCX solution.
Key Applications The densification of service endpoints demands cost-effective QoS visibility with the accuracy and low-latency performance unmatched by merchant silicon. Wire-speed processing ensures peak performance in demanding small cell / LTE backhaul, and business services vCPE applications.
The ant Modules enhance existing legacy network elements, and enrich green field deployments with added performance assurance functionality, saving truck rolls and driving down operational expenses to fit cost-competitive business models. The Modules can be installed in-line or out, allowing service providers to upgrade legacy networks without downtime.
With the additional capabilities provided with the next-generation ant, operators can gain deeper insights about the performance of their network. For example, with FlowBroker, operators can now obtain further details about the QoE of the streaming media services (YouTube, Netflix, etc.) they provide to their end customers.
Sharing the same firmware and field-upgradable FPGA-based hardware architecture, Nano Modules interoperate with first generation Modules as well as all Accedian Performance Elements, Actuators, Virtual Controllers and programmable Platforms to deliver a scalable core-to-edge performance-assured networking solution tailored to your applications.
Virtualized, programmable instrumentation for QoS monitoring, OAM & turn up testing in compact, cost-effective Modules:
• Low-latency, wire-speed packet processing for uncompromised performance
• Zero-touch Plug & Go™ auto provisioning for customer self-install
• Full line-rate loopback support for popular third-party test sets, 802.3ah & Y.1731 OAM standards works with existing infrastructure
• Service Activation Testing: RFC-2544 (Generation and Reflection) & Y.1564 (Reflection and Generation*) including multi-flow traffic generation which eliminates the need for on-site testing
• Fine-grained Layer 2 and Layer 3 flow metering
• Standards-based+ Layer 2 & 3 (IPv4 and IPv6) TWAMP Lite (RFC-5357)–Reflection and NFV-Based Initiation performance monitoring for core-to-edge QoS visibility
• IPv4 & IPv6 Management
• DOCSIS-friendly management integration for easy BSoD deployments
• NFV-extensible feature set
