PacketPortal removes obstacles to traditional probing and analysis services analysis systems by deploying SFPprobes throughout the network, providing on-demand • Manage performance and SLAs reach and visibility so providers can ensure the highest possible QoE/QoS. he combined solution lets providers save costs while enhancing customer service. • Network security and intrusion When analyzing a converged triple-play network, it is critical to deploy a single • Lawful intercept solution that can analyze the performance of IP video (IPTV), video on demand • Enable service and media quality (VoD), voice over IP (VoIP), and broadband data applications simultaneously to get assurance an accurate representation of the end user’s overall experience. QoE is not solely a function of network bandwidth, voice and video transport stream metrics, and/ or traic characteristics, but is rather a function of how all features and services interact with each other from the end user’s perspective. A PacketPortal-enabled SFProbe can replace virtually any Gigabit SFP to feed voice, video, and signaling packets to the TPA application for analysis. Supporting over 500 network protocols, the TPA application let providers isolate the root of problems quickly and easily. Now, providers can have the visibility they need to solve the most complex, costly, and diicult-to-ind network problems—all from a central location.

Coupling the hardware with the TPA and Network Analyzer sotware applications provides a powerful wireline solution for complete triple-play analysis, troubleshoot- ing, and monitoring. Similarly, the system can be used in conjunction with the JDSU Signaling Analyzer sotware to create an advanced mobile network test solution for both signaling and media quality analysis.
