Network Tap Device And NGNPBs For SDN Software Defined Network

Network Device TAPs and NGNPBs Application in SDN Software Defined Network

SDN: Software Defined Network, which is a revolutionary change that solves some of the inevitable problems in traditional networks, including lack of flexibility, slow response to demand changes, inability to virtualize the network, and high costs.Under the current network architecture, network operators and enterprises cannot provide new services quickly because they have to wait for equipment providers and standardization organizations to agree and integrate new functions into a proprietary operating environment.This is obviously a long wait, and perhaps by the time the existing network actually has this new capability, the market will have changed a lot.

With SDN, the situation has changed.Network operators and businesses can easily determine network functionality through software they write.SDN allows them to be more proactive in terms of flexibility, agility, and virtualization.SDN can help network operators and enterprises, as long as the ordinary software can provide new services at any time.By centralizing network control functions through OpenFlow's forwarding instruction set, the network can be virtualized and controlled as a logical resource rather than a physical resource.

SDN Benefits as follows:

No.1 - SDN provides more flexibility for network use, control and how to generate revenue.

No.2 - SDN speeds up the introduction of new services.Network operators can deploy related features through controlled software, rather than waiting for a device provider to add a solution to its proprietary equipment.

No.3 - SDN reduces the operation cost and error rate of the network, because it realizes the automatic deployment and operation and maintenance fault diagnosis of the network and reduces the manual intervention of the network.

No.4 - SDN helps to realize the virtualization of the network, thus realizing the integration of computing and storage resources of the network, and finally enabling the control and management of the entire network to be realized through the combination of some simple software tools.

No.5 - SDN makes the network and all IT systems better oriented to business goals.

What's the Matrix Modular Designed Plug-in Network Packet Broker to do?
With the acceleration of carrier broadband construction and the rapid development of 3G, 4G, and 5G networks, and with the popularity and development of big data and cloud computing technologies, data traffic is growing, and the bandwidth requirements for backbone networks and core networks are increasing. Since 2013, the major operators have begun to gradually upgrade the backbone network. The core backbone network transmission link media starts to be expanded from 10GPOS and 40GPOS links to 100G Ethernet links. It will inevitably lead to the continuous updating of big data collection and analysis technology. In the face of 100GE link environment with high bandwidth capacity, how to effectively meet the requirements of various national security, network security monitoring, operator intelligent pipeline DPI data collection and analysis will become a hot spot in the field of data acquisition and analysis.
Chengdu Shuwei Communication is following the development direction of the Internet and develop the MATRIX-TCA-CG Traffic Acquisition(Traffic Capture) Visibility System, and dedicated to the traffic collection and visual analysis application requirements on 1GE, 10GE, 10G/40G POS, 40GE and 100GE links. The MATRIX-TCA-CG integrates free-steering output functions such as network flow collection/acquisition, aggregation, filtering, forwarding/distribution, and load balancing and provides an efficient solution for the flow analysis.

Matrix-TCA-CG is a network data visualization control device for high density and large flow of 10G/40G/100G.
Matrix-TCA-CG is specially designed for the data collection of 10GE 40GE and 100GE links distributed intensively in operators mobile Internet export, IDC export, provincial network and backbone.
Based on ATCA standard architecture, MATRIX-TCA-CG has high carrier-level reliability and strong expansibility which can smoothly configure the functional board CARDS to cope with port demand scenarios of various specifications and sizes.

Unified Visibility Modules Source Management

The MATRIX-TCA traffic acquisition visibility system is the industry's first to use graphical-based centralized visual resource management to provide a WYSIWYG-based board resource management interface based on the Web interface on the main control card of the whole machine. The user can visually view the current chassis view, all inserted card views in the chassis, and the working status view of each board on the resource management panel to provide a simple management mechanism for complex board management.

Unified Traffic Visibility Policy View Management

The MATRIX-TCA traffic acquisition visibility system implements unified visual management of traffic collection and distribution strategies for all cards of the whole machine, and determines the master control based on certain master election rules. All slot card policies in the chassis will be completed in the main control card set. Do not manually switch to other cards.

Unified card port resources and configuration views. The unified interface is used to address the service interface of each board through the unified port type, slot number, sub-slot number, or port number. The port configuration and subsequent policies are implemented. Port naming can be visually referenced in the management configuration view, which greatly facilitates the user's management configuration.

Backplane topology hides data auto-routing. The whole machine provides centralized data automatic cross-board routing technology. Users only need to pay attention to the service interfaces of the front and rear panels without paying attention to the backplane connection topology. The visual management software will automatically calculate the cross-board data routing based on the actual board connection for policy application. Configuration coordination greatly simplifies user configuration.

A unified policy management configuration view. The device provides a centralized traffic distribution policy configuration management view. Users can flexibly define data acquisition and output policies in the board. They can also flexibly define cross-board load balancing, cross-board data collection, and offload output policies.

Convenient cards software version maintenance management. All boards use the same software version, and can be upgraded in various ways (based on WEB/TFTP/FTP, etc.) to simplify user maintenance and upgrade operations.

SDN Network Packet Broker Applications:
