Network Traffic Capture Plug in Module for Telecom Operator Traffic Collection

Matrix Network Packet Broker Plug in Module for Telecom Operator Traffic Collection

Background Introduction
With the acceleration of carrier broadband construction and the rapid development of 3G, 4G, and 5G networks, and with the popularity and development of big data and cloud computing technologies, data traffic is growing, and the bandwidth requirements for backbone networks and core networks are increasing. Since 2013, the major operators have begun to gradually upgrade the backbone network. The core backbone network transmission link media starts to be expanded from 10GPOS and 40GPOS links to 100G Ethernet links. It will inevitably lead to the continuous updating of big data collection and analysis technology. In the face of 100GE link environment with high bandwidth capacity, how to effectively meet the requirements of various national security, network security monitoring, operator intelligent pipeline DPI data collection and analysis will become a hot spot in the field of data acquisition and analysis.
Chengdu Shuwei Communication is following the development direction of the Internet and develop the MATRIX-TCA-CG Traffic Acquisition(Traffic Capture) Visibility System, and dedicated to the traffic collection and visual analysis application requirements on 1GE, 10GE, 10G/40G POS, 40GE and 100GE links. The MATRIX-TCA-CG integrates free-steering output functions such as network flow collection/acquisition, aggregation, filtering, forwarding/distribution, and load balancing and provides an efficient solution for the flow analysis.

Matrix-TCA-CG is a network data visualization control device for high density and large flow of 10G/40G/100G.
Matrix-TCA-CG is specially designed for the data collection of 10GE 40GE and 100GE links distributed intensively in operators mobile Internet export, IDC export, provincial network and backbone.
Based on ATCA standard architecture, MATRIX-TCA-CG has high carrier-level reliability and strong expansibility which can smoothly configure the functional board CARDS to cope with port demand scenarios of various specifications and sizes.


The NTCA-CHS-7U7S is a 7U standard rack height. The chassis adopts the horizontal slot service slot mode. The device supports a total of seven slots, including two switching slots and five service slots. Each slot provides 300W cooling capacity, the chassis uses a pull-type cooling air duct to provide good heat dissipation performance for the whole machine. The backplane adopts a dual-star architecture, providing 200Gbps full-duplex interconnected channels in each switch slot to the service slot. Fully equipped with two switch cards can achieve 400G backplane bandwidth per service slot.

3G/4G/5G Network Signal Acquisition Solutions of Operators


To deploy high-performance, high-capacity MATRIX-TCA-CG network data visualization control system, can complete the operator 3G/4G/5G network arbitrary link signaling or user data collection. Then, through the perspective of the size, structure and relationship of data traffic through the system, the invisible data signals are transformed into visible entities, and users can copy, converge and stream the required target data to the back-end signal acquisition and decoding system for in-depth processing according to the feedback information of the system.
