Pacifying the trouble spots

Service providers face an enormous challenge today. Consumers demand a high-quality, end-to-end user experience for a variety of services from multiple devices (wireless, broadband and mobile.) They demand unified service. At the same time, service providers want to deploy new, resource-demanding services on a common networking infrastructure based on IP/MPLS technologies. They want a unified network. Accomplishing both – delivering unified service over a unified infrastructure – demands IP service assurance.

The NetSocket Resource Control Point (RCP) is the only comprehensive platform providing IP service assurance, simultaneously monitoring the underlying network for topology and network state and the service control plane for session state. NetSocket’s IP service assurance provides visibility, resource control and policy capabilities that enable successful delivery of a variety of emerging services. Visibility improves the quality of evolving services by providing session control with better path monitoring, network congestion notification, performance monitoring and fault mitigation. Resource control provides path-sensitive admission control, which enhances the carrier’s ability to perform network-wide resource control, improving the quality of service for customers. Last, the RCP’s policy interfaces connect with various service control and network equipment to communicate policy decisions.

The NetSocket solution resolves a range of issues facing today’s service providers. By deploying the NetSocket Resource Control Point, service providers are addressing the critical challenges that accompany high volumes of high-bandwidth services on IP networks.
These applications include fixed mobile convergence, video, DSLAM congestion and tactical networking.
