Overview

Easily capturing All-IP traffic up to 10 Gbps and analyzing hundreds of protocols including Voice over IP (VoIP) is one of the challenges faced by the telecom industry. Now with GL's PacketScanPX™ application, the features of PacketScan™ analyzer with the capabilities of PacketExpert™ hardware, provide a very powerful yet simple platform

• for interfacing with wide breadth of Ethernet interfaces, from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps
• for powerful wirespeed detection and filtering
• for capturing and analyzing IP traffic

PacketExpert™ hardware (PXN100) is a versatile Ethernet testing tool, with various testing functionalities, one of which is the wirespeed filtering and capture functionality. A Quad port unit, with 2 - 10 Gbps SFP+ ports, and 2 - 10/100/1000 Mbps Electrical/Optical ports. For some of the functionalities, the 10 Gbps SFP+ ports can be downshifted to support 1Gbps ports, thus offering 4 Electrical / 4 Optical 1 Gbps ports for Ethernet testing. SFP ports can be used as RJ45 ports by plugging in the appropriate Electrical (Copper) SFPs. The same 10Gbps ports can also be converted to 2.5Gbps Electrical interface using appropriate SFPs.

PacketScanPX™ can capture on 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps ports. PacketExpert™ hardware allows user to capture either at full wirespeed of up to 10 Gbps up to a limit of 8 GBytes (using the built-in 8 GB DDR3 memory) or apply a filter and capture continuously at a reduced rate of around 2 Gbps (actual rate may vary depending on the capture conditions). Traffic can be captured on both ports simultaneously (i.e in each direction).

GL's PacketScan™ - an All-IP Network Monitoring software offers powerful features to capture and monitor live signaling and traffic over IP (version 4 and 6). The application can capture, segregate, monitor and collect statistics of all types of calls over IP. Almost all VoIP and Wireless protocols and traffic types over IP network, as listed here, can be captured, and decoded for troubleshooting network problems.
