High-altitude view
(e.g., amount of dropped
calls in an area)
Correlated signaling and
flow data of LTE actions
(e.g., attach, register, FTP
download)
Every message or details of
the message from the
sessions and flows
IP Application Measurements
Application analysis provides the capability
to find and analyze the quality of
independent IP applications.
It can be used to answer questions such as:
What applications are used in the network?
How much data does Skype use in the network?
Who is using most of the data?
What is the MOS value of SIP calls?
How do my customers experience FTP downloads?
Sample statistics:
- Top WWW sites visited
- Worst DNS response time
- Top applications
Sample flow view:
- Customer usage by application
- TCP window size
- Re-sent TCP packets
- Average throughput for FTP sessions
and amount of data downloaded

Session and
Flows
VoLTE (SIP+RTP Support)
Voice-over-LTE means that voice is
carried as regular packet data in a
network. This is achieved by using the
IMS network and SIP protocol for voice
signaling.

Analyze the following:
Cover full LTE and IMS technologies
Make sure that the new service is operating
correctly (SIP), and that you can easily view
the correlated voice-quality of those calls
Correlate the LTE signaling issues and SIP
issues for problematic calls
Perform voice playback or analyze MOS in
order to ensure quality
Use raw data for root-cause analysis or to
report errors to vendors
Detailed analysis for VoLTE calls:
LTE signaling sessions
SIP sessions
SIP caller/caller ID
RTP codec used
MOS for the RTP streams
All session-related IP information
(network elements used, IP addresses, etc.)

Connectivity
Supported SFP modules for 1 GigE adapter:
Multimode SR (850 nm)
Singlemode LR (1310 nm)
1000 Base-T or 10/100/1000 Base-T (copper SFPs)

Supported SFP+ modules for 10GbE adapter:
Multimode SR (850 nm)
Singlemode LR (1310 nm)

The THP has two different capture cards, which can be combined in any way,
but no more than two at a time.
D7 (4 x 1 GigE) and D10 (10 GigE)

Minimum sensitivity is -20 dBm for D7, -9 dBm for D10.
D7 has four SFP slots, SM/MM and/or copper can be used in any
combination.

D10 has two SFP+ slots, SM/MM only.

Using SM/MM SFPs requires an active link. A passive splitter can be used for
this. A minimum 70/30 split is recommended. We can provide passive optical
splitters if needed.

Another way to connect would be via a TAP (built-in, service node mirrors not
recommended due to load regulation).
TravelHawk Pro
Connectivity
Physical adapters are mapped as ports by TravelHawk Pro.
In the diagnostics application, 10 Gig adapter 10Gbps
adapter is mapped as port 0...1, and 4 x 1 Gig 1Gbps
adapter is mapped as port 0...3.

and right click
or by seleting the QoS measurements which then
lists all the sessions where results are available
1. Go to Configuration > iPro Jobs > New Job > QoS
2. Define QoS Job Contents such as Source/Destination IP, VLAN ID, MPLS, GTP
TEID, etc and follow by KPI such as Bits/Packets per sec, Jitter, Delay, Loss, etc
