A common pre-conceived notion that more bandwidth solves network congestion is fairly prevalent in existing networks. Many operators learn the hard way.
Hence Broadband Enterprise offers an alternative to bandwidth layering by with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to manage congestion and lower bandwidth costs.
Deep Packet Inspection from Allot Communications is a highly effective bandwidth tool enabling ISPs provide best-in-class services and enhanced end user experience, all with a lower bandwidth bill. Using DPI operators will essentially experience a 30-40% bandwidth efficiency, making a 100 Meg circuit appear more like a 130/140Meg service.
What can Internet Service Providers expect from DPI:
- Oversubscription of service – ISPs can confidently oversubscribe and yet offer high levels Quality of Service (QoS) – so a 100 Meg service could look and feel more like a 130 Meg service
- Manage Service Theft or Deprivation of Service of one or small group of users hogging 90% bandwidth
- Enable Bandwidth Reservation – so demanding users can get capacity between 9-12 congestion time
- Create Service Priorities – so VoIP service quality does not deteriorate during congestion
- Guarantee uninterrupted Video – so NetFlix users can experience better service quality and no flicker during that 9-12 period
- Mitigate virus traffic by limiting connections per user
- Create a min-max formula so when network is quiet subscribers can enjoy higher user experience, despite their service level limited to say 10 Meg.
- For Advance Networks – Video Caching (an enhanced service) saves Satellite and other costly bandwidth services save about 30% on bandwidth costs
- Manage Protocols, offer detailed Network Viewing and Policy Creation
- Granular Subscriber Management and ISP ability to create and charge for BitCaps, Service Priorities, Dedicated bandwidth and Quality of Service commitments
Scenarios where you’d use Deep Packet Inspection:
- If you see Network Congestion and you’ve maxed bandwidth, but not increased your subscriber count
- If you want to upgrade your service from 100 Meg to 150 Meg, but do not want to pay for a Gig Port charge.
- If your users are using Hulu and NetFlix and you want to charge a higher fee
- You want to manage Quota or create BitCaps
- You have Gamers and want to create a new service package
- Your router does not allow for bandwidth management – meaning after a user hits say 10 Meg, the router drops packets
- Your subscriber calls relate to slow speeds and service timeouts
- You’re a Satellite Data Provider and need to control bandwidth costs
- Your subscribers are students
- You’re a Mobile Data Provider and need to conform to new FCC regulations
DPI products range from 2 Meg to 360 Gbps and come in all flavors of ports and media like fiber, copper. They are expensive, but the right mix and timing of purchase can provide for a high return on investment.
