| Overview |
Along with the coming of information era,
Network Technology & Application innovation, the network
service operation and management have encountered a more arduous
challenge -- the imprecise Peering and Transit Analysis result
in the lower achievement on network service operation &
revenue. The improper solution can not contend with fast-changing
environment. More and more network worm’s infestations,
malicious network attacks, and so on happen frequently and unexpectedly
have seriously affected the network performance and the operation
of information system. Perhaps you have deployed tools, such
as Protocol Analyzer, Firewall, IDS and so on in your network,
but, they are unable to provide you inter-domain traffic analysis
solution for improving network service operation, and to promptly
and effectively respond to the eruptive network worms or DoS/DDoS
attacks. GenieATM 2320 will help you to improve
the quality of decision-making in network service operation,
and provide you a brand-new security auditing solution.
GenieATM 2320 Series provides functions as
the analysis of users’ behaviors on the Internet, the
real-time monitoring of abnormal network traffic, the analysis
reports of historic traffic, and the prediction of traffic trend.
The built-in intelligence of BGP enables GenieATM to provide
peering & transit traffic analysis capabilities. Those functions
already include all needs of analyzing network traffic. In addition,
you could report the result of the network flow analysis through
various formats supported such as (standard, comparison, and
trend) report, (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly)
report, and so on. Generally,
GenieATM 2320 Series collects IP flow information
from core routing switches of the backbone network and routers
which connect to external network and are commonly applied
to Transit Traffic Analysis,Peering Traffic Analysis, and
Inspection for Routing Load Balance Analysis.

| Features |
Appliance
Architecture: Ease of system set-up
and configurations. All modules integrated in one box which
could perform all functions independently. No any extra
hardware or software is required.
- Long-term Traffic Monitor:Network-wide
traffic monitor and in-depth analysis are enabled by “rule-based”
analysis capability. Except filters figured with various
analysis criteria (IP addr., IP blocks, interfaces) to monitor
network traffic in longer term, further filter combinations
are also available through “And-Or-Not” logic
computing.
- SNMP-based Traffic: Except
for flow-based traffic monitoring which count on NetFlow/NetStream/
sFlow packets which are exported from routers, users can
also adapt the SNMP-based traffic monitoring to poll specific
interfaces on which NetFlow/NetStream/sFlow were not enabled.
- Two-level Threshold Alarm:
Two-level threshold alarms mechanism for real-time display
on monitor reports, and could also issue SNMP traps to the
Fault Management System of NMS for integration. An alarm
notification by email is also supported.
- In-depth Traffic Analysis:Multi-tiered
Top-N ranking reports that being updated at every 5-minute
interval and is also available by drill-down functions.
The offline analysis on the historical raw data residing
in system is also applicable.
- Instant Traffic Snapshot:
Abnormal traffic, worms, and the source and destination
of attacks are easily been identified and located by the
unique traffic snapshot function.
- Topological View for Traffic Snapshot:Traffic
Snapshot can also generate a topology report which can give
you a topological view about the interested traffic flow.
The path of traffic flow can be identified, such that routing
analysis can be easily implemented in customer’s network.
- Dark IP Traffic Analysis:The
called dark IP traffic is the omen of attacks. The dark
IP factor can be used to analyze the dark IP traffic activities.
- Web-based Interface: The
system could be accessed from anywhere anytime only with
web-client and Internet access. The GUI design would also
make the operations friendly to users and quick to learn.
HTTPS is supported to provide a more secure
web access interface to the system.
- Command Line Interface: In
Addition to CLI, the remote Telnet and SSH accesses are
also available for operating the system configurations and
upgrades securely.
- User Account Management:Four
levels of account authority are defined for management of
system access, which enables the system suitable for system
sharing applications to multi-user environment. The login
status of user account can be checked online.
- Multi-lingual Support:Per-user
language selection for English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese
and Simplified Chinese.
- Flow Record Format:NetFlow™
V1, V5, V7, NetStream™ and sFlow® are supported.
- Flow Data Reservation:Administrators
can set the flow data preserving duration. Overdue data
will be archived or deleted automatically to reserve hard
disk space.
- Data Storage:Users
can store raw data, report data in a built-in hard disk
or an external NFS storage device.
- Built-in Database:The
built-in database can be used to store traffic baseline
and anomaly analysis report data. No extra database server
is required.
- Database Storage Management:GenieATM
2320 can automatically purge the oldest data in DB once
the DB storage utilization has reached up to a threshold
defined by users. Users do not need to worry about the running
out of disk storage space will stop the service of GenieATM.
- Data Export with ODBC:Through
ODBC links, the DB data of “Traffic Monitor Report”
and “Traffic Analysis Report” are available
for users to retrieve for further integration with customer’s
business support system (BSS).
- System Profiling:GenieATM
2320 will automatically profile itself to record the following
system performance index: CPU usage, Memory usage, DB disk
Usage, Received sessions. Users can easily identify the
performance of GenieATM 2320 and promptly prepare the capacity
upgrade plan.
- Non-intrusive Deployment:The
system will work easily in any network with IP connectivity
for data collection and management connection, with no impact
to user’s existing network environment.
- Flow Forwarding:Redirect
the received NetFlow/NetStream/sFlow data to other NetFlow/NetStream/sFlow
collectors.
- Network-wide Monitoring: GenieATM
2320 is capable of monitoring network-wide IP traffic. It
is not constrained to monitor or analyze only one specific
network segment at a time.
- Embedded BGP Client:With
the embedded BGP client software, GenieATM 2320 can collect
BGP routing information from BGP server and automatically
identify the neighbor ASNs for the use of Peering &
Transit Management.
- Peering & Transit Management:
By using both of Peering-AS-Factor & Origin-AS-Factor,
users can create compound-filter to do peering & transit
traffic analysis. In addition, the report of peering &
transit traffic for peer AS can be automatically generated
with the simple selection of few parameters.
- Home AS Traffic Analysis:The
traffic analysis report about the On-net / Off-net traffic
from customer’s network can be automatically generated
with the simple selection of few parameters. It’s
a useful tool to analyze the internet access behavior for
POP on ISP’s network.
- AS Path Length based Traffic Analysis:The
traffic between router on customer’s network and AS
with different AS path length can be analyzed and presented
with a tabular report.
- Distributed Global Traffic Analysis:The
integration of multiple GenieATM 2320 sites to provide a
global traffic analysis solution for large xSP. globalATM
provides a central management solution for a huge network
with multiple GenieATM 2320 sites deployed.
