VISIBILITY OF TRAFFIC

As we highlight, the importance of the Internet for a Company is unquestionable. However, such as any important resource its monitoring is crucial. Yet, there is no monitoring without visibility.

Do you have visibility of how the Internet is utilized by your Company? Which are the sites or services with the higher rate of traffic? If there is more than one link, what is the distribution of the utilization of such links? What is the distribution of Internet traffic between the sectors? Those and other questions will only be answered with a tool which might be able to provide a global vision of the network.

Through the TRAFip it is possible to acquire a global vision of the network and a stratified analysis of the traffic. The TRAFip has, as its main functionality, the collection and analysis of streams to provide the visibility of the traffic on the network. The capacity of monitoring the original DNS packages in assemblies with the collected streams has been included in the most recent version of the TRAFip (9.2.0). With that, bringing information even more precise of the traffic in specific services of Internet such as Google, Netflix, YouTube, Facebook, streaming services among other.

MAINTAIN THE TRAFIP UPDATED

One of the main ways to characterize the Internet traffic is through the translation of the ASN. The ASN (Autonomous System Number) is a unique and global identification of an autonomous system in the routing system BGP. The BGP is the routing protocol which enables the functioning of the Internet.

In order to keep the base registration of the ASN, it is important for the TRAFip to be able to identify the absolute traffic of each ASN and inside the traffic profiles, which utilize the ASN as a profile object.

The area in gray on the chart represents undefined traffic. The bigger the amount of ASNs non-recognized, the bigger the gray area will become. Some manufacturers do not send the ASN information correctly on the stream. Thus, the TRAFip possesses an option of tagging such information in the raw data. The new version of the TRAFip (9.2.0) will have the automated based on ASN data on the cloud of Telcomanager. In this manner, applying the necessary correction. Promoting complete information about the Internet traffic.
