Increasingly data/IP applications and protocols are found in wireless networks. GPRS, GTP and UMTS data connections are gaining momentum and starting to stretch the capabilities of telecom signaling analyzers. Typically telecom signaling analyzers focus on multi-port, multi protocol analysis and correlation while data services engineering staff need a tool to analyze router/switch IP control plane connections plus IP conversations and flows.

JDSU’s DA-3400 Data Network Analyser range of Data/IP analysers focuses on the data/IP control plane, IP conversations and flow analysis. Comprehensive conversation tables show which subscribers are connected to data service or ISPs. Furthermore traffic is automatically categorised by VLAN, subnet or MPLS flow to aid traffic engineering. The DA-3400 require little or no set-up so greatly increase the speed of analysis and visibility into data applications. 

In wireless applications, resolving the mobile subscriber/IP numbering is greatly simplified as is the ability to diagnose GTP (GPRS Tunnelled conversations) problems and radius log-on issues.

The DA-3400 support one-touch IP or application filter and capture while protocol decoding through the Examine decode, and Mentor, a comprehensive expert system.
