Abstract:

Considering that layer 3 MPLS VPNs are a high-growth component of most service provider WAN offerings today, and a major source of revenue, providers possess a striking lack of visibility into the operational state of their customers’ MPLS VPN networks. This is due to historical limitations in the scalability of traditional network management approaches.

VPN Traffic Explorer is a layer 3 network management solution that leverages Packet Design’s powerful route analytics technology to provide unprecedented visibility into network-wide and per-VPN routing and traffic operations. It delivers routing and traffic monitoring, troubleshooting, capacity planning, service analysis, and network change modeling/simulation capabilities, along with customer reporting and enhanced business intelligence. Network managers now have the tools to maximize efficiency, productivity and profitability in their MPLS VPN service offerings.
