Processing Big Data in QoE Stor

VAS Experts' clients are telecom operators providing services to end subscribers, who in turn generate traffic. To effectively manage this data flow, the VAS Experts team has developed a traffic monitoring and analysis system, Stingray Service Gateway (SSG), which allows operators not only to analyze traffic, but also to offload statistics. As the number of subscribers increases, operators receive more and more data, which complicates the process of data storage and processing. In this article we will consider in detail how information is processed and stored in the SSG statistics server - QoE Stor.

Effective network monitoring with SSG and QoE module + practical case study

Network monitoring is the process of continuously observing network health and operation to identify and correct potential problem areas. Standard monitoring tools typically provide general information about network traffic and load. However, additional tools are required for detailed analysis and optimization of network performance.

When the mobile network is unavailable: why start calls over the Internet

VoWiFi technology allows making calls by phone number outside the coverage area of the mobile network using Wi-Fi. Today, we decided to discuss the relevance of such service and key ways to set it up: from OTT and UMA to untrusted access to EPDG. We will also look at the prospects of the technology and the challenges faced by telecom operators offering the service of calls over the Internet.

What DDoS attacks are and how a telecom operator can protect against them

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a cyberattack that aims to render a resource, such as a website or network service, unavailable to its legitimate users. This is achieved by overwhelming the target system with an enormous number of requests that exceed its processing capabilities.

Using named framed pools in L2 BNG

In response to a request from one of the customers, VAS Experts developers implemented a new option in Stingray Service Gateway: support for IP pools, which makes the platform more flexible. With the help of interaction with standard DHCP servers, it is now possible to use the BNG function of SSG with billing systems that do not have a native address issuing mechanism without using third-party scripting solutions.
