Use Network Intelllligence technology to differentiate your products

• More intelligence than traditional Deep Packet Inspection: Qosmos Network Intelligence technology extracts and delivers actionable data (metadata + content) from traffic, providing advanced tools to select and manage information extracted from networks.
• High-speed support: deep Network Intelligence gathering at core network speeds up to 80 Gbps
• Open up new opportunities for value-added applications

Maximize development productivity with unique Network Intelllligence tool kit

• Reduce development cycles and costs
• Focus on your core competence
• Future-proof solutions with continuously updated network and application protocols

Software Overview

Qosmos ixEngine Features

• Classification of network flows using Qosmos standard protocol plugins
• Protocol Plugin API enabling developers to easily build additional, custom protocol plugins
• Advanced session management (correlation, reassembly)
• Real-time extraction of metadata and content (richest library of protocol & application metadata and content
  available on the market)
• Delivery of structured traffic information to user-defined applications over standard APIs
• Applications can use the extracted information in two ways:
  
  • Passive mode: reporting on mined traffic data
  • Inline mode: blocking or modifying traffic based on extracted
    metadata and content

Best-In-Class Network Intelligence

• Real-time extraction of traffic metadata (caller, type of file downloaded, IMSI, etc.) and content (e.g. email text or VoIP stream based on RTP data)
• Layer 7 recognition and classification based on protocol semantics and grammatical analysis
• Visibility at session, application, service and user levels
• Session correlation of multiple sessions (e.g. RTP and SIP) relating to an application (e.g. VoIP)

Highly actionable data

• Delivery of structured information for easy drill down
• Standard connectors to facilitate integration into your solution
• Complete traffic visibility
• The widest and deepest protocol and application knowledge on the market:
  • Over 300 network and application protocols recognized
  • Over 4,000 metadata extracted

Examples of protocols and applications recognized

• Mobile telephony: WAP, GTP, etc.
• Audio/Video streaming: RTP, RTSP, WMP, YouTube, Dailymotion, Real Player, etc.
• VoIP: H323, SIP, MGCP, etc.
• Business: Citrix, Oracle, SAP, MS Exchange, McAfee, etc.
• Peer-to-Peer: eMule, BitTorrent, etc.
• Network: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, etc.
• Instant Messaging: Skype, MSN, Gtalk, etc.
• Webmail: Gmail, Hotmail, YahooMail, etc.

Maximum responsivenessss to technology evolution

• Regular protocol and application updates
• Special “Protocol and Application Watch” service for proactive evolution of protocols
• Develop your own custom protocol and application plugins easily and rapidly

Deep Network Intelllligence gathering at core network speeds up to 80 Gbps

• Applications built with Qosmos ixEngine can scale smoothly as network speed increases
• Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support for scalability up to 96 cores

Qosmos Sessionizer

• Wire-speed decoding and analysis of traffic flows
• Dynamic parsing of flows according to protocol grammar (unlike static pattern matching)
• NO use of TCP/UDP ports for classification: protocols are identified based on syntax and semantic analysis
• Computes correlation key for each session
• Inheritance of traffic attributes on correlated sessions (e.g. SIP session attribute “Caller” inherited in RTP session state)
• Session reconstruction/management and packet reordering
• De-capsulation of tunneled traffic
• Operates on fragmented, duplicated, de-sequenced packets
• Operates on symmetric and asymmetric traffic

Optimized Implementation

• Developed in C and supported on all market-leading CPU architectures, for maximum flexibility
• Fully documented APIs and tutorials to facilitate integration into third party solutions and easy development of custom modules
• Protocol Plugin API to add custom protocol and application plugins to the standard SDK

Developer Tools

• Documentation: Developer & Reference Manuals, Installation, Developer & Administration Guides
• Debugging tools to secure implementation
