  3. System Architecture 2Q-3Q/2009 • NetHawk Diagnostics • New statistical analysis and visualization tool • Drill-down option for detailed protocol decoding • Database Server • Automatic data storage and processing unit for XDRs/KPIs • Ethernet Probe • IP packet capturing on 1/10Gbit Ethernet • E1/T1 and STM-1 Probes • Capturing data on E1/T1 and STM-1 physical transports Diagnostics Drill-down Diagnostics Drill-down Database Server #1 Database Server #2 MySQL DB MySQL DB Writing Unit 4 Writing Unit 4 Writing Unit 1 Writing Unit 2 Writing Unit 3 Writing Unit 1 Writing Unit 2 Writing Unit 3 Ethernet Probe E1 Probe Ethernet Probe E1 Probe STM-1 Probe STM-1 Probe

  4. NetHawk monitoring products • Data acquisition units • NetHawk Ethernet Probe • NetHawk STM-1 Probe • NetHawk E1/T1 Probe • Data warehousing • NetHawk Database Server • Data analysis, reporting and O&M tools • NetHawk Diagnostics • Diagnostics Drill Down option

  5. Data acquisition unitsNetHawk Ethernet Probe • 100% capture in LTE, CS/PS Core and IMS networks • 1U rack-mount server with 4 Terabyte storage • 2 x Gigabit Ethernet interface • Physical interface 2 x SFP ports or 2 x RJ-45 ports • Signalling Plane capturing on all Ethernet based telecom interfaces • S1, X2 • IP-RAN, SigTran • Packet capturing: • Rec and Pcap formats • 10ns time stamp resolution, NTP time synchronisation • Web based configuration, user authentication • IP User Plane Flow analysis and QoS KPI options for • LTE, S1 • Gn, transport and GTP tunnels • Gi

  6. NetHawk D5 Adapter Data acquisition unitsNetHawk E1/T1 and STM-1 Probes • Data capturing on E1/T1 and STM-1 transports on GERAN/UTRAN and CS/PS Core interfaces: • For signalling (control plane) capturing • Data is captured periodically and stored in trace file repository in DBServer • E1/T1 Probe, including: • 1 x D5 Adapter • 8 bi-directional E1/T1/J1 links (PCM, ATM or IMA) • IMA option available • 1 x Rack mounting unit for D5 pod (1 unit up to 1-2 Pods) • STM-1 Probe, including: • 1 x D6 Adapter • Two full-duplex STM-1/OC-3 (concatenated/channelised) links / one STM-4/OC-12 link • Channelized STM-1 option available • Probe configuration is done with remote desktop connection • No user interface, running as a Windows service NetHawk Probe 1U Rack chassis NetHawk D6 Adapter

  7. Data warehouseNetHawk Database Server • Automatic data processing unit and storage for max 6 Writing Units • Writing Unit options depending on the monitored interfaces • Processes data flows from Probes • Data storage capacity up to 10 terabytes • Call&Session records (XDRs) • Network KPIs • Trace files (.rec repository) • Open MySQL database is accessed by Diagnostics but enables access also for 3rd party tools (with separated 3 party license agreement) Example Database Server configuration for Iu-CS, 2x CS Core (e.g. MAP) and A interfaces Database Server SQL DB Writing Unit, Iu Writing Unit, A Writing Unit, CS Core Writing Unit, CS Core

  8. Data analysis and reporting and O&M toolsNetHawk Diagnostics • Easy to use and versatile graphical tool to analyse and present statistics from NetHawk Database Server • Efficient troubleshooting with: • Quick timeline selection • Multiple Network and QoS KPI statistics • XDR view • Easy drill-down from the statistics to XDRs and deeper into to the detailed messages and parameters: • All protocol packages included in fixed price Drill-down option

  9. NetHawk DiagnosticsDrill-down option • Drill Down from statistics into XDRs and deeper into signaling analysis: 1. Open XDR view for the selected call. 2. Drill-down to Protocol Monitor. 2. 1.

  10. NetHawk Diagnostics • 1 to 5 Database Servers supported at the same time: • Call correlation between multiple databases • Installation as a stand alone application or in remote server for multiple users • NetHawk Application Server HW available: • Max 20 user accounts • NetHawk Diagnostics and other tools pre-installed

  11. NetHawk monitoring productsSystem Deployment

  12. System DeploymentProcess overview • Pre-installation: • HW purchase orders by NetHawk logistics • SW installations at NetHawk by deployment project team • Functional tests for each component • HW delivery to customer by logistics • Installation and configuration: • HW installation on-site • SW setup (connection, application and database configurations) • Functional tests for each subsystem (M5 Database Server) • System verification and acceptance: • Verification test execution for all subsystems • Acceptance tests and system approval with customer • Commissioning: • Customer training and consultation services according to the agreement • On-site support and troubleshooting

  13. NetHawk monitoring productsCase example, Finnish mobile operator

  14. Case exampleFinnish mobile operator • Target to monitor operator’s CS Core installed at three locations in Finland • SigTran transport in use about 90% interfaces • Signalling traffic mirrored over VLANs to one site in Helsinki • NetHawk system consists of • 2 M5 Probes (+2 units in 3Q) • 4 Database Servers (+2 units in 3Q) • 6 M5 Off-line Analysers with Diagnostics • M5 Probes • Due to SigTran transport D4 Adapters in use. Ethernet Probes shall be used on the remaining unsupported interfaces • Covering all common core interface types and protocols: • Iu-CS, A, Mc, Registers.. • RANAP, L3, Megaco, ISUP, CAP, INAP… M5 Probe M5 Probe

  15. NetHawk monitoring productsSystem evolution

  16. NetHawk monitoring productsSystem Architecture, Air IF Test UE option • Air IF Test UE can be used as complementary probe unit for temporary field measurements • Operates as standalone mode recording signaling, PS user plane and the essential RF quality parameters on the field. • Transfers Network and QoS KPIs automatically from UE to Database Server for post-processing • All Diagnostics features supported with Air IF Test UE data: • Call&Session records (XDRs) • Network and QoS KPIs • Correlation with other interfaces attached in Monitoring System • Drill-down to detailed protocol messages Diagnostics Drill-down Diagnostics Drill-down Database Server #1 Database Server #2 MySQL DB MySQL DB Writing Unit 4 Writing Unit 1 Writing Unit 2 Writing Unit 3 Writing Unit, Air IF Air IF Test UE Ethernet Probe E1 Probe Air IF Test UE STM-1 Probe
