DA-3600A DATA NETWORK ANALYZER

Advanced mode features Flow Classifier
For high-speed POS and Ethernet backbone networks the DA-3600A offers an
advanced flow classifier. This option allows statistics to be grouped based on user-
defined parameters. Whether classifying IP flows based on MPLS labels, VLAN
tags, IP address, applications, or combinations of parameters, the DA-3600A can
maintain statistics on 160,000 unique flows (figure 4).
The Advanced Flow Classifier software also allows users to define filters and
triggers. This limits the traffic analyzed by the DA-3600A and controls the
function of the capture buffer. Users can define up to 160,000 unique filters using
a wide variety of parameters. String search filters are also supported allowing the
user to define a specific string of characters for filter-in or filter-out operations.
Results database
When operating in the advanced mode, the user results are stored in a database
on the DA-3600A. Users can export all or part of the database in order to generate
custom reports or for integration into other third party database applications.
Transmit
For POS and Ethernet transmit, the DA-3600A advanced mode offers users the
ability to define multiple frames. Using the integrated frame builder, GUI users
can modify the frame header fields to generate standard compliant as well as non-
compliant frames, to test the effectiveness of security firewalls and router/switch
behavior. Stored transmit profiles can be populated with multiple user defined
frames that can be recalled and modified.
Peering link monitoring and analysis
The DA-3600A provides visibility into all IP flows occurring on any Packet Over
SONET peering link. With this visibility, carriers can truly see what traffic is
entering and exiting their peering links by monitoring IP traffic flows. The DA-
3600A can be configured to extract routing tables and provide statistics for each
defined AS (Autonomous System) in the routing table.
Streaming mode features
Streaming mode allows the DA-3600A to take frames matching specific user
defined criteria and forward them to a third party device in real-time. For
example, some network tools cannot operate at full line rate Gigabit Ethernet
speeds. Using the DA-3600A a filter can be defined to forward a subset of the
traffic in real-time to the network tool. Users may define IP addresses or
dynamically forward any IP conversation that contains a specific string.
