Network Packet Broker and Visibility Fabric Platform
The Auron-Pro Solution is a unified network visibility platform designed to process, optimize, and distribute network traffic across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
Built on a disaggregated architecture, the solution enables deployment of software-defined traffic processing functions across scalable network hardware. This approach provides flexibility in deployment, efficient resource utilization, and the ability to scale across different network environments.
Auron-Pro ensures that monitoring, security, and analytics systems receive the required traffic in the appropriate format and volume.
Lower Cost, Improve Tool Efficiency, and Enable Scalable Growth
The Auron-Pro Solution reduces the cost and complexity of network visibility infrastructures by ensuring that monitoring and security systems process only relevant traffic. By eliminating duplicated data, enabling efficient use of existing tools, and supporting flexible deployment models, organizations can scale their environments without proportional increases in infrastructure or licensing costs. At the same time, the solution enables consistent operation across physical, virtual, and cloud environments, supporting evolving network requirements and regulatory needs.
Addressing the Limitations of Traditional Visibility Approaches
Conventional network visibility architectures struggle to keep pace with increasing traffic volumes, evolving protocols, and distributed infrastructure models. Monitoring and security systems are often burdened with excessive or incomplete traffic, while fragmented deployments make it difficult to maintain consistent operation across environments. These challenges impact efficiency, scalability, and the ability to gain accurate insight from network data.
Following is how Auron-Pro Solution addresses the key challenges.
High Infrastructure Cost
Reduce capital and operational expenses by optimizing traffic delivery and improving the utilization of monitoring and security systems.
Fragmented Licensing Models
Simplify deployment by enabling a flexible architecture that avoids complex, proprietary licensing constraints.
Limited Subscriber-Level Visibility
Enable identification and analysis of subscriber activity through subscriber-aware traffic processing and correlation.
Tool Overload and Inefficiency
Improve tool efficiency by filtering, deduplicating, and delivering only relevant traffic to monitoring systems.
Complex Traffic Correlation
Correlate related traffic flows such as control-plane and user-plane traffic (e.g., GTP, SIP/RTP) to provide complete session visibility.
Scaling in High-Speed Environments
Support high-throughput environments with scalable architecture designed for 100G and 400G deployments.
Compliance and Data Protection Requirements
Enable lawful interception and support data protection through controlled traffic access and data masking capabilities.
Visibility Gaps Across Hybrid Environments
Provide consistent traffic access and processing across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures.
Comprehensive Traffic Processing
The Auron-Pro Solution provides a comprehensive set of capabilities that define how network traffic is aggregated, processed, and delivered to monitoring, security, and analytics systems. These capabilities enable consistent handling of traffic across different environments while supporting advanced functions such as traffic correlation, subscriber-aware processing, and metadata generation.
Traffic Aggregation
Aggregate traffic from TAP, SPAN, ERSPAN, and VXLAN sources.
Traffic Replication
Regenerate traffic streams and deliver them to multiple monitoring and analysis systems.
De-duplication
Eliminate redundant packets to reduce unnecessary processing load.
Regex-Based Filtering
Apply pattern-based filtering for precise traffic selection.
Application-Aware Traffic Steering
Identify and direct traffic flows based on application characteristics.
Load Balancing
Distribute traffic across monitoring tools to optimize utilization.
GTP Correlation
Correlate control-plane and user-plane traffic (GTP-C and GTP-U).
SIP-to-RTP Correlation
Correlate signaling and media flows for VoIP session visibility.
Subscriber Identification
Identify subscribers using IMSI, IMEI, and MSISDN attributes.
Multi-Speed Interface Support
Support network interfaces ranging from 1G to 400G.
High-Density Deployment
Enable efficient rack utilization through high-density configurations.
Precision Timestamping
Provide nanosecond-level timestamping for accurate latency measurement.
Metadata Generation
Generate L2–L7 metadata with extensive attribute coverage.
IPFIX and NetFlow Export
Support export of traffic data using IPFIX and NetFlow with multiple profiles.
Session-Level Metadata
Provide session-level information including 5-tuple, duration, and packet and byte counts.
Lawful Interception Support
Enable targeted traffic filtering for lawful interception requirements.
Data Masking
Protect sensitive information (PII) through data masking capabilities.
Forensic Analysis and Traffic Replay
Support traffic analysis workflows including replay of captured traffic.
