SANDVINE AND PEERAPP AT CABLELABS - BIGGER TEXT
PLATFORM SANDWINE POLICY ENGINE � � The Policy Engine provides a single platform on which to introduce unified, standards-compliant network policy control into any fixed, mobile, or converged access network, whether the network is physical or virtual. Operators define a policy once, and it is seamlessly and consistently applied across control and data plans � Policy decisions are made faster, without needing to wait for a query and response. � The control and data planes have a common model of network policy control, so have an equivalent understanding of what the business policy means and how it is implemented.
SANDVINE POLICY ENGINE
� � POLICY TRAFFIC SWITCH The Policy Traffic Switch (PTS) embeds the Sandvine Policy Engine in the data plane of any network, be it physical or virtual, with any combination of access technologies, and scales higher with better performance efficiency than any other PCEF/TDF solution. Specialized Software that goes beyond Policy Enforcement PTS software performs vital functions and provides information for the Policy Engine, going far beyond a basic PCEF/TDF Deep packet inspection (DPI) technology provides the Policy Engine with real-time information about the identity and measured characteristics of network traffic
SERVICE DELIVERY ENGINE � Service � Control Delivery Engine (SDE) Plane Intelligence for Network Policy Control � The Service Delivery Engine (SDE), Sandvine’s PCRF, lets your entire network leverage the power of the Sandvine Policy Engine to satisfy more policy control use cases, faster, in any access technology. � The SDE places the Sandvine Policy Engine in the control plane and provides the interfaces necessary to implement network policy control solutions in any access network, with any combination of access technologies and solutions vendors.
TECHNOLOGY SANDSCRIPT POLICY LANGUAGE • Linking Any Condition to Any Action Sand. Script is an event-driven policy definition language that empowers communications service providers (CSPs) to fully utilize the Sandvine Policy Engine with programmatic flexibility, without any restrictions. TRAFFIC CLASSIFICATION • Looking Beyond Bytes to Measure Metrics that Matter Sandvine’s traffic classification technology is the foundation of all our network policy control and business intelligence solutions. By accurately identifying traffic, comprehensively measuring its characteristics, and linking to our business intelligence products and real-time network policy control infrastructure VIDEO QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE • Measuring Video Quality of Experience (QOE) from the Viewers' Perspective
CONGESTION MANAGEMENT WITH QUALITY GUARD A complete congestion management solution has two functional components: • A mechanism to manage the impact of congestion • A mechanism to trigger the management policies Quality Guard performs the following two main functions: • Automatically detects congestion by measuring real-time subscriber • Automatically removes or prevents congestion by shaping traffic until achieving a maximum throughput rate just short of the point where the access resource would slide into congestive collapse, which can be thought of as the “target good put”. VIRTUALIZATION (SDN & NFV) Communications service providers (CSPs) are continually looking for ways to increase efficiency and deliver rich new services through the carrier cloud, and for those reasons many are exploring the promise of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV).
