10 Gigabit Monitoring Access Challenge

Provide efficient, line-speed, passive monitoring access

to traffic on 10 Gigabit network links

for 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit monitoring tools

Net Optics Confidential and Proprietary Net Optics Confidential and Proprietary 33

Solution Requirements

A 10 Gigabit monitoring infrastructure requires:

• Line-speed, passive traffic access

• Non-blocking architecture with zero risk of disrupting traffic or

impacting network performance

• Low and predictable latency to support performance analysis

• Ability to apply a variety of 10 Gigabit and

1 Gigabit monitoring tools working from a centralized NOC

The iLink xStream Solution

Requirement iLink Agg xStream Feature

Line-speed, passive traffic access 240 Gbps non-blocking throughput

Zero risk of disrupting traffic or impacting network performance

Passive deployment architecture – does not touch the network traffic

Low and predictable latency to support performance analysis

Cut-through architecture delivers 600ns latency, 50ns jitter – the lowest in the industry

Ability to apply a variety of 10 Gigabit and 1 Gigabit monitoring tools working from a centralized NOC

• 24 SFP+ ports (10G / 1G)• Switching, aggregation,• Remote management

Cut-Through for Low, Predictable Latency

1. Traditional store-and-forward architecture – packet completely received before transmit begins

2. Cut-through architecture – packet starts transmitting after 128 bytes are received
