Network Device TAPs and NGNPBs Application in SDN Software Defined Network

SDN technology has redefined the architecture of traditional networks. It enhances network flexibility and programmability by software-based network control plane. This model can help operators and enterprises provide new services quickly and easily, solving the problems of long development cycles and slow response capabilities of traditional networks. At the same time, SDN supports network virtualization, which helps reduce operating costs. Generally speaking, the application of software-defined network technology can improve the manageability and openness of the network.

SDN Benefits as follows:

1. SDN provides greater network flexibility, allowing operators to more easily implement changes in control and profit models as needed.
2. SDN significantly increases the speed of new service launches through software control. Operators do not have to wait for equipment vendors to update products, but can deploy relevant functions through software.
3. SDN reduces network operating costs and error rates. It realizes automatic deployment, operation and maintenance, and fault diagnosis, reducing the risks caused by manual operations.
4. SDN technology helps network virtualization, integrates and manages computing and storage resources, and achieves comprehensive network control and management through simple software.
5. SDN enables networks and all IT systems to better serve business goals and support enterprise development more efficiently.

What's the Matrix Modular Designed Plug-in Network Packet Broker to do?
With the acceleration of carrier broadband construction and the rapid development of 3G, 4G, and 5G networks, and with the popularity and development of big data and cloud computing technologies, data traffic is growing, and the bandwidth requirements for backbone networks and core networks are increasing. Since 2013, the major operators have begun to gradually upgrade the backbone network. The core backbone network transmission link media starts to be expanded from 10GPOS and 40GPOS links to 100G Ethernet links. It will inevitably lead to the continuous updating of big data collection and analysis technology. In the face of 100GE link environment with high bandwidth capacity, how to effectively meet the requirements of various national security, network security monitoring, operator intelligent pipeline DPI data collection and analysis will become a hot spot in the field of data acquisition and analysis.
Chengdu Shuwei Communication is following the development direction of the Internet and develop the MATRIX-TCA-CG Traffic Acquisition(Traffic Capture) Visibility System, and dedicated to the traffic collection and visual analysis application requirements on 1GE, 10GE, 10G/40G POS, 40GE and 100GE links. The MATRIX-TCA-CG integrates free-steering output functions such as network flow collection/acquisition, aggregation, filtering, forwarding/distribution, and load balancing and provides an efficient solution for the flow analysis.

Matrix-TCA-CG is a network data visualization control device for high density and large flow of 10G/40G/100G.
Matrix-TCA-CG is specially designed for the data collection of 10GE 40GE and 100GE links distributed intensively in operators mobile Internet export, IDC export, provincial network and backbone.
Based on ATCA standard architecture, MATRIX-TCA-CG has high carrier-level reliability and strong expansibility which can smoothly configure the functional board CARDS to cope with port demand scenarios of various specifications and sizes.

Network Packet Broker Specification and Module Type

Unified Visibility Modules Source Management

The MATRIX-TCA traffic acquisition visibility system is the industry's first to use graphical-based centralized visual resource management to provide a WYSIWYG-based board resource management interface based on the Web interface on the main control card of the whole machine. The user can visually view the current chassis view, all inserted card views in the chassis, and the working status view of each board on the resource management panel to provide a simple management mechanism for complex board management.

Unified Traffic Visibility Policy View Management

MATRIX-TCA adopts unified switch traffic collection and distribution policy management. It implements mainboard configuration delivery based on main control election rules. Manage the port resources of each board card in a unified view, and address each service interface through the slogan. Hide the backplane topology and the software automatically calculates multi-board routing. Provides a centralized traffic distribution policy configuration view, allowing users to flexibly define the data collection output and load balancing strategies of each board. Each board uses a unified software version and supports multiple upgrade methods to facilitate user maintenance.

SDN Network Packet Broker Applications:

After sorting out the main participating entities of the network, the application scenarios of SDN basically focus on telecom operators, government and enterprise customers, data center service providers and Internet companies.The application scenarios of SDN mainly focus on: data center network, interconnection between data centers, government-enterprise network, telecom operator network, and business deployment of Internet companies.

Scenario 1: application of SDN in data center network
