Key Features

IPXPlorer One offers simple and immediate navigation from the high level menu to traffic details and related root-cause analysis. A comprehensive set of troubleshooting and drill-down investigation features allow users to identify issues rapidly and without any other diagnostic tool.
IPXPlorer One has an easy to use GUI with a top down approach. Both a built-in and web-based GUI are available for local and remote operation. All the results are shown divided by layers from correlation, to applications, down to network and physical analysis. IPXPlorer One provides a comprehensive analysis of all the most significant events at the network level, including bandwidth, response time, and network applications performance.

IPXPlorer One

IPXPlorer One generates IPDRs for every IP session detected on UDP, TCP, SCTP, RTP, RTSP and PPPoE ports. From the IPDR, a user can move directly to any correlated result. With its correlation engine, IPXPlorer One links the communication segments and interfaces in a single view. It filters, frames and packets to enable maximum network visibility without slowdowns or outages.

IPXPlorer One enables analysis of new multimedia services like VoD, IPTV or VoIP with in-depth reports on traffic, trends, distribution, bandwidth, quality of experience and service QoE-QoS.

IPXPlorer One

IPXPlorer One provides the results of analysis in tabular and chart formats. Users can select the columns to hide and show as well as create custom views. IPXPlorer One records data on hard disk drives in standard PCAP 2.4 format. Results and analysis are available in playback and real-time modes and the data files can be imported from and exported to other instruments.

IPXPlorer One detects and marks sessions with anomalies. There are several conditions for application anomalies and users can program alarm thresholds.

IPXPlorer One

IPXPlorer One generates ASDRs as a combination of the transactions part of the same session between two end points. From the ASDR, users can playback the payload and zoom into each leg of the data flow. It decodes packets and frames through the wireshark decode engine. Here, end-to-end mapping of message flow is shown.

IPXPlorer One has a built-in reporting engine to generate reports for the different analysis being performed. Reports can be exported to PDF, CVS, XLS, or XLM files and then published as web pages.
