Migration from Sandvine to the VAS Experts Solution + real migration case

Wi-Fi HotSpot 1.5.11 Update: new design, enhanced stability, and customization

Solutions for data centers and Autonomous System Numbers (ASN) from VAS experts

Protecting against cyberattacks and maintaining a stable network infrastructure are critical for data centers. Data centers face many threats, including DDoS attacks such as TCP SYN floods that can overload servers and disrupt services. In this article, we will examine how VAS Experts' Stingray Service Gateway (SSG) effectively handles such attacks based on real-world examples of its use.

SSG as VNF for Telco Cloud

Telecom operators are moving from physical networks to cloud-based solutions to increase flexibility, resiliency and lower operating costs. This approach is fundamentally different from the traditional model based on specialized hardware. Operators now need to develop and manage services in data centers that integrate both physical and virtual ecosystems, while ensuring interoperability with competitive vendors.

SSG as a Border Router. ARP management

By default, the SSG functions as an L2 Bridge, but since 2017 it has been developed as a full-fledged BRAS/BNG. Routing functionality is particularly important for a service gateway, as it is required to communicate with external networks, provide access to internal resources and improve resilience. The VAS Experts team provided the opportunity to embed proven solutions in the role of Soft-Router such as BIRD, FRRouting and QUAGGA into SSG.

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.

In this article we will consider an example of a real load on a 64-core processor for SSG 120 in BNG/NAT/DPI mode.
