Tabula Rosa Systems Product Of The Day From Packet Design

=====================================================

The Route Explorer™ System

• Route analytics technology provides unique insight into routing topology and events across the entire network

• Route-Flow Fusion combines route analytics with NetFlow data for “path-aware” visibility into traffic behavior

• Supports all routing protocols and major infrastructure vendors

Filling the Management Gap

The Route Explorer system provides visibility into the network’s routing topology and events that are invisible to other tools.

Network managers can see exactly how traffic traverses the entire network and quickly identify sub-optimal routing metrics,

flapping, loops, black holes and a host of other conditions that can cause service delivery issues and inefficient use of network resources.

All major IGP and BGP routing protocols are supported.

• IGP protocols: OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP

• BGP

• Multicast

• L2 and L3 VPNs

• MPLS WANs

• RSVP-TE tunnels

How It Works

Using Packet Design’s patented techniques, the Route Explorer system participates passively in the network and subscribes to all routing announcement messages. It records these messages and uses them to calculate and maintain a real-time model of how the network forwards traffic. It maintains the changes in a time-indexed data base so that the network forwarding plan and events

for a time period in the past can be retrieved, analyzed and played back using animation.

Capabilities

Past: Forensic analysis of hard-to-find, intermittent network routing and traffic flow issues

Present: Real-time monitoring of routing and traffic behavior, alerting and anomaly reports for proactive service management Future: ‘What if’ modeling to know in advance the impact of network failures, configuration changes and new workloads

Benefits

• Troubleshoot intermittent, hard to find problems faster

• Mitigate the risk from changes

• Improve network resiliency and service delivery

• Optimize peering relationships

• Simplify planning and reporting

• Drive up efficiency and make more informed investments
