IP SLA Probe

Network performance monitoring

Smart SFP IP SLA Probe is a network performance monitoring and diagnostic device in the SFP form factor. Smart SFP is installed in any network device with an SFP slot and simultaneously acts as both a standard SFP module and an IP SLA Probe.

IP SLA uses active traffic monitoring to measure end-to-end performance across of a network. The traffic generated simulates network applications such as data, voice, video, and collects real-time information on bandwidth, jitter, latency and loss network performance information.

Accurate and precise SLA performance is critical for any network infrastructure. Smart SFP IP SLA Probe is the unique high-performance, scalable and compact hardware device that combines service assurance with granular monitoring and performance testing. Mobile operators, service providers and enterprises can use it for performance monitoring or by for service assurance.

Smart SFP IP SLA Probe provides the ability to perform Y.1564, TWAMP testing, enable Smart Loopback on L2-L4 and analyze traffic statistics. Smart SFP IP SLA Probe seamlessly integrates with any active network monitoring platform. The central platform provides an integrated dashboard to monitor your network and services at scale.
