PacketScan HD - Network Monitoring

Overview

PacketScan™ HD is a high density Ethernet monitoring appliance with specialized network interface cards, large storage capacity and protocol analysis software. Customers can choose the specific Ethernet data rate for the network interface cards including 4 x 1 GigE (PKV120), 2 x 10 GigE (PKV122), 2 x 40 GigE (PKV123) and 2 x 40 / 2 x 100 GigE (PKV124) variations. Almost all VoIP and Wireless protocols over IP transport layer can be captured and decoded for troubleshooting network problems.

PacketScan™ HD includes the PacketScan™ software which can provide in-depth real-time and post-process data investigation with its Packet Data Analysis (PDA) feature. The PDA view assists in comparing multiple RTP sessions. The PDA view displays call information in graphical format and tabular format.

PDA feature is available for SIP, H323, MEGACO, MGCP, GSMA, Skinny, and IuCS based calls. PacketScan™ HD can work with NetSurveyorWeb™, a central monitoring system for a comprehensive view of network performance. It features rich graphics, ladder diagrams and CDRs (Call Detail Records).  A web server is deployed in a central location along with an Oracle® database. Multiple PacketScan™ HD probes can be deployed in remote locations across the network to passively monitor VoIP traffic and send data to NetSurveyorWeb™.

GL's FastRecorder™ and PacketExtractor™ applications can capture and record packets on 1, 10, 25, 40, and 100 Gbps networks at wirespeed. The traffic is recorded from the FastRecorder™ application and extracted by the PacketExtractor™ which is then analyzed using PacketScan™ HD. The PacketScan™ HD can contain several terabytes of storage as requested by the customer. The PacketScan™ HD application supports decoding of eCPRI protocol. It also supports eCPRI protocol analysis tool which enables analysis and statistics of eCPRI message types such as IQ Data, Bit Sequence, Generic Data Transfer, Remote Memory Access, One-way Delay Measurement, Remote Reset, and Event Indication.

GL’s PacketScan™ 5G protocol analyzer supports monitoring of 5G networks. It captures, segregates, monitors, and collects statistics on all calls over N1/N2, N4, N8, N12 and N13 interfaces of the 5G network. The 5G Protocol Analyzer is an optional module that can be acquired with PacketScan™.

GL’s TCP Analytics application analyzes TCP connections between both internal Local Area Network (LAN) and external Wide Area Network (WAN) computers including servers and clients. The application helps troubleshoot large bandwidth consumption, failed TCP sessions, packet loss, poor TCP throughput and more. TCP Analytics (PKV400) is an optional application with PacketScan™ HD - Network Monitoring Appliance.

Hardware Filters

Screenshot of Hardware Filters

Supports defining up to 10 filters at Layer 2, 3, 4, and 5

  • MAC: Frames can be filtered out based on Ether Type and FCS Error
  • VLAN 0, 1, 2: Filters frames based on Tag protocol ID, User Priority, CFI, and VLAN ID
  • IPV4: Frames can be filtered based on Source IP Address, Destination IP Address, Protocol Type, Header Length, Differentiated Services, Ds_ECN, DS_CodePoint, Total Length, Check Sum Error, IP Datagram ID, Fragmentation Offset, Flag_DontFragment and Flag_MoreFragments
  • IPv6: Frames can be filtered based on Source IP address, Destination IP address, Next Header, and Payload Length
  • Tunnel Traffic: Tunnel filter provides a method to filter the packets of one protocol within another protocol. GTP, GRE and VXLAN are available tunneling methods. Hardware filters can be applied to Tunnel 1 and Tunnel 2 layers
  • ARP: Frames can be filtered based on Sender MAC Address, Target MAC Address, Sender IP Address, Target IP Address and Option Code
  • TCP: In TCP layer Frames, can be filtered based on source port, destination port and check sum error
  • UDP: In UDP layer Frames can be filtered based on source port, destination port, check sum error, UDP length and payload. For more details, refer to
  • SCTP: SCTP packets can also be filtered based on source port or destination port
  • SIP and RTP: SIP and RTP packets can also be filtered based on source port or destination port
