On-Demand Call/Session Analysis
The traditional methodology for protocol transaction tracing
involves pre-building records for all monitored calls and sessions.
However, fewer than 0.1% of stored records are actually analyzed
and more than 99.9% of the expensive pre-build processing is of no
value. To reduce processing and storage costs, xSIGHT Diagnostics
and TSAs build tracing analysis on demand for just those calls or
sessions that require troubleshooting. Proprietary Viavi database
technology identifies, correlates, and retrieves required data in
seconds, significantly reducing tracing response times.
Complete Protocol Transactional Tracing
and Decoding
The xSIGHT transactional tracing display provides an insightful
graphic representation of protocol transactions involved in a selected
subscriber call or session. Color coding highlights any potential
abnormal or errored transactions within the sequence.

Automatic Data Correlation Across

Monitored Interfaces
Where call/session data is collected by TSAs from multiple network
interfaces, Diagnostics automatically correlates data into individual
subscriber calls and sessions. It does this across different network
technologies, such as when a subscriber session crosses GPRS and LTE
networks.

Easier Troubleshooting, Lower Costs
Protocol transaction tracing and decoding is a powerful tool for
quickly diagnosing mobile network performance faults. And,
combining Diagnostics with TSAs delivers feature-rich protocol
transaction tracing and decoding at a significantly lower cost than
competing solutions.
