Network Monitoring for QoE
• Post-session statistics
• Harvested from end devices
• Harvested from centralized servers
• Historical information to predict future issues
• Network probes
• Geographically deployed
• Overlayed on operational networks
• Intelligent edge devices and endpoints
•

SLA Mon Architecture—Agent
• Agents embedded in devices (phones,
gateways, data products and soon bridges and
other media application layer elements)
• 96x0 (since R3.1 SP4)
• 96x1 SIP (since R6.0.2 for v1 and R6.2 for v2)
• 96x1 H323 (since R6.0.2 for v1 and planned for R6.3)
• G430 and G450 (currently in SV)
• VSP9K and 56xx (currently in development)
• Bridges, signaling elements and soft clients projected

February 26-28, 2013 | Orlando, FL
SLA Mon Architecture—Server
• Server controlling the agents that are registered on it
• Agent will only register with a server if it can authenticate the
server
• The registration process is used to exchange a private key used
by the agent to decrypt and authenticate server commands
• The registration process is launched from the server by sending
an agent discovery packet
• Server interaction with the agents is through encrypted
and authenticated UDP based proprietary protocol
• Server maintains historical data
• Server interaction with the user is entirely through
