3. Product Overview—Flow Control Platform

4. Flow Collector - Measurement Active Probes –UDP/ICMP All available paths –Some router config. Measure: –Topology –Performance (Loss, Latency, Jitter) Passive Analysis –User Data Active Path Physical Tap or Spanned switch port Reconstruct Flows Aggregate by prefix Measure: –RTT –Volume

5. Some Pictures and Stats Active Probes

6. Some Pictures and Stats Active Probes The best path at any given time yields average latency improvements between 25% and 40% vs. the median and worst paths respectively.

7. Some Pictures and Stats Passive Analysis

8. What’s Measured Operator specified list Active prefix by volume or frequency (from netflow/Passive analysis) Active prefix by performance violation

9. Process Control - Automated Performance Baseline Static thresholds only useful if operator knows what the threshold should be… Proprietary process control algorithms applied to both active and passive measurement provide dynamic thresholds

10. Flow Director - Route Insertion Route Server injects routes via iBGP –Usually full mesh –No-Export by default ensures routes do not ‘leak’ onto public Internet Routes selected –Via longer prefix (system default /24) –Configurable local preference Internal loop detection and probe feedback ensure destination is reachable and performing well.

11. Monitoring of key performance, usage/cost, and route change activity indicators Flowview - Summary Reports

12. Detailed reporting on loss, latency performance, by destination prefix and provider Flowview - Detailed Reports

13. Path Diversity - How many connections is enough? Convergence point analysis has proven that for a given distribution of prefixes there is an optimal combination of ISPs. Diversity is the key…fewer shared hops generally means more choices and the possibility of better performance. Two ISPs may be enough!

14. Path Diversity - How many connections is enough? Violations lift Latency lift Of course…the more the better!
