Network Performance Measurement has its extreme intrinsic complexities about precision, accuracy, and methodology.
However, those are not the only hurdles that stand between the Broadband Service Provider and the knowledge advantages provided by those measurements.
Deploying a few probes may be easy, but what happens when such probes are hundreds, thousands, or more?
Those probes have to be efficiently deployed, managed, and updated. Then, the performance data generated by their measurements have to be punctually collected, stored, aggregated, and analyzed.
Since that data provides critical and strategic information about the network state, the systems used to perform such tasks must be resilient, highly available, and scalable.
High-Performance Reflectors must be available in the critical network junctures to serve thousands of concurrent measurements requests.
Furthermore, the Probe software has to run on several hardware architectures/platforms and operating systems such as SBCs, CPEs, and Servers. Finally, it has to be Containerizable and Cloud-Ready.
OutSys ProbOS Versatile Network Probing Solution deploy-ready comprehensively and natively addresses all the above issues with its integrated, extensible modules: Probe, Orchestrator, Correlator, and HiPerf-Reflector.
In upcoming posts, ProbOS ToolSet and Modules will be presented and detailed.
