Optical TAPs come across as simple passive devices, and generally, we tend not to talk much about them. However, this is not true because they have a significant role to play in the entire network architecture. The entire monitoring starts in layer 1, and if there are errors at this stage, then these errors are carried forward across the entire sys...

Challenge: The service provider wanted to do 6,5 to 7 TB session aware load balancing to a DPI application. However, the traffic was delivered asymmetric and over 90 x 100 Gbit links. Moreover, the traffic was from fixed net users and mobile users. The fixed net traffic was significantly asymmetrical implying that the request and answer were not on...
