VSS Monitoring Releases Industry's First Line-Rate Packet Reassembly

SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VSS Monitoring, the world leader in Network Intelligence Optimization, today announced its packet fragment reassembly feature for greater utilization and network intelligence within analytic tools. This feature enables enterprises and service providers to realize the full value of their existing investments while improving performance and accuracy from network analytic and security monitoring tools.

"On service provider networks, large media files are broken down into fragments," said Mark Winther, group vice president, IDC. "These fragments often travel different routes across a network and arrive out-of-order. In order to avoid and eliminate overflows or missed detection on existing monitoring devices, it is critical for service providers to be able to reassemble fragmented network packets. Without this functionality, QoS is nearly impossible to guarantee."

VSS Monitoring provides session-based/flow-aware monitoring solutions to reassemble packets from Gigabit and 10GigE networks to ensure a reliable and efficient session. By prioritizing bandwidth with premium data, the network's QoS can be assured. This latest offering is compatible with IPv4 and IPv6, as well as networks of all maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes.

"Enterprises and service providers have spent millions of dollars on monitoring tools that have gone unchecked for a decade; many have inefficiencies that impact network visibility, security and uptime," said Martin Breslin, CEO of VSS Monitoring. "Our new solution improves the effectiveness of existing tools and provides clarity on network blind spots and redundancies. With VSS, organizations can meet or exceed existing Service Level Agreements and lower network Total Cost of Ownership."

VSS Monitoring's new defragmentation capabilities lower the cost of ownership on media and network intelligence tools by reducing CPU cycles on voice and video analyzers while increasing bandwidth for relevant traffic.
