Features of FUJITSU Network Proactnes II QM

  1. Real-time detection of network quality degradation [network quality management software]
  2. Visualization of traffic for detecting abnormality in network quality [network quality management software]
  3. Use of open interface to provide alarm information [network quality management software]
  4. Detection of echo that causes voice quality degradation [voice quality management software]
  5. Continuous monitoring of the network's condition [traffic measurement software]

Real-time detection of network quality degradation

Proactnes II QM detects quality changes in real time by supporting packet capture and analysis for IP network and virtual network transfer protocol.

Figure of Real-time detection of network quality degradation

How to detect a wide range of quality degradation:
Proactnes II QM can detect a wide range of quality degradation by capturing at a point where traffics aggregate.

Supported protocol :
IP, TCP, UDP, NVGRE(*1), Q-in-Q(*2)

(*1) NVGRE : Virtualization for network tunneling protocol
(*2)Q-in-Q : IEEE 802.1q Tunneling

Visualization of traffic for detecting abnormality in network quality

By analyzing user packets in real time, Proactnes II QM visualizes network service quality of each user.

Identification of user traffic

Proactnes II QM distinguishes user traffics based on identifiers attached in user packet protocols.

  • In case of NVGRE : Both Outer IP address(*3) and VSID.
  • In case of QinQ : Both S-Tag and C-Tag.

Items for quality monitoring

  • Bandwidth usage : Monitors how much bandwidth is occupied by user traffic.
  • Delay : Measures round trip delay time of packets. This gives an indication of application response speed.
  • Packet loss : Measures TCP packet loss in each direction. Frequent packet loss causes video image corruption.

(*3)Outer IP address : IP address of IP packet carrying GRE

Use of open interface to provide alarm information

Proactnes II QM uses open interface to notify the quality degradation alarm to network operation control and management systems. This enables Proactnes II QM to feed back its alarm information to network operation and control systems.

(*4)By cooperating with Wide Area Virtual Network Operational Control And Management Software FUJITSU Network Virtuora NC, effective operation and control of the virtual network is possible

Detection of echo that causes voice quality degradation

Voice quality is evaluated based on echo which determines user QoE from audio point of view. It is not evaluated from network quality.

Echo detection

Continuous monitoring of the network's condition

Traffic information is collected and stored periodically. Using the value from network configuration as thresholds, Proactnes II QM performs verification all the time.
Scalability:
Available in large-scale network (up to 100,000 points) by adding monitoring servers
