It is possible to transfer traffic from/to Subscribers to the platform through a “mirror” using an optical splitter or SPAN mode on the router. In this mode, the platform can provide filtering by blocklists (similar to the “asymmetric” mode), collection of statistics on traffic in QoE Stor, notification of subscribers via HTTP Redirect.
Radius monitor, that uploads IP-Login bundles to UDR DPI, is used to obtain information about IP belonging to logins.
IP packets are sent towards clients and hosts from a response port which is used to implement filtering and notifications.
*It is needed to know that the network interface of the platform will only work to “receive” traffic. So, for example, if in this mode a port of 10 Gbps is applied, “mirrored” traffic in the amount of 8 Gbps of incoming (to subscribers) and 5 Gbps of outgoing (from subscribers), then the total traffic will be 13 Gbps, which is clearly higher than the capabilities of the physical receiving port.
