Content Inspection Director

Overview Features & Benefits Models & Tech Specs

Key Features and Benefits

Carrier-Grade Visibility and Control


Subscriber / Content / Application Awareness (DPI/DFI)  
  • Enable wire speed policy-based redirection of the traffic to the required service engines according to DPI/DFI
  • Gain deeper network intelligence visibility and control at the micro flow and transactional level
  • Allow differentiating services according to user/subscriber/content details

AAA Integration  
  • Extract user information from the operator’s authentication, authorization and accounting (RADIUS) systems

Device Logging  
  • Store session and additional user dynamic information carried out from RADIUS Start/Stop accounting messages
  • Increase operator visibility and network discovery
 

Value Added Services Application Delivery


Transparent application delivery   
  • Define redirection and load-balancing policies based on real-time measurement
  • Support multi-vendor VAS environments
  • Support multiple access technologies
  • Sequentially redirect same session traffic across multiple VAS

Flexible Policy Enforcement Point (PEP)   
  • Control user, service or application traffic flows for differentiated services (hair pinning)
  • Enforce multi-staged policies (by handset, user, network, MIME type, etc.)

Wire-Line Load Balancing   
  • Load balance traffic to “MAC less” devices connected by a single or dual ports

Header Enrichment and Modification   
  • Support various optimization models, e.g. effective bypass WAP gateway, etc.
  • Enrich and modify HTTP headers transparently
  • Modify Transparent / non transparent URL relative path
  • Prevent misuse of bandwidth by non-business critical applications (P2P, etc)

Bandwidth Management and Traffic shaping  
  • Prevent uneven network utilization by limiting/guaranteeing bandwidth per class, user
  • User-defined and Predefined classes include over 40 common applications, ToS or Diffserv bits
 

Walled-Garden and VAS High Availability


Guaranty VAS high availability  
  • Quickly identify and bypass failures at any point along the application or transaction path by automatically redirecting traffic to the best available servers
  • Allows redirection of users to remote servers based on server availability
  • Monitor the health of a wide range of applications including: VoIP, streaming media (RTSP), and more

Active/Passive Device Redundancy  
  • Guarantee uptime, highest SLA and best QoE to users and customers
  • Reduce service interruptions in all cases
  • Full table synchronization

Highly- Reliable Platform  
  • Redundant power supply
  • Separate management interface

Fail-Safe Mode  
  • Transparently pass traffic through the device without processing in case both Active and Standby devices fail
