Stingray SG Functionality
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.

From TCP to QUIC. Stingray SG Signatures
Briefly about QUIC: QUIC is a communication transport protocol that is considered a replacement for TCP due to greater reliability, security and reduced latency and works on top of UDP. This technology was created by Google developers and initially called it “HTTP/2-encrypted-over-UDP”.
