Interception Market Dynamics

Public and National Security are a priority everywhere. Surveillance or Monitoring of network traffic continues to be complicated by multi-protocol high speed networks. TDM Networks (SONET/SDH) remain primary transport even for IP
Deeply Channelized interfaces and documentation regarding bandwidth allocation are spotty Recent advances enable Ethernet transport on existing networks.
Legacy Protocols like ATM, Frame and SS7 will remain in the network for many years. Desire to make interception investments in IP centric solutions are understandableyet not practical.

What NetQuest Provides

Access to optical and copper broadband networks
NetQuest
Our Mission
To empower our customers with the ability to correlate converged network traffic into service, customer or target oriented flows without distortion.
It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.

Intercepting Leased Line Services Overview

The NetQuest
What are Leased Line Services

Typically point-to-point and Point-to-multipoint circuits. Bandwidth Pipes

Often referred to as International Private Line Circuits (IPLC) T1/E1 and Fractional services T3/E3 SONET and SDH Ethernet
Support for any protocol Considered by many as the most secure

NetQuest
The Problem
Private Line Services remain a service mainstay Dynamic multi-protocol transport over SONET/SDH Agencies are limited in where they can get access to circuits. Circuit access comes without bandwidth allocation documentation. End to End bandwidth allocation can change Customer Premise Equipment can be re-configured without notification. Additional protocol support can be changed at CPE level
NetQuest
Traditional Solutions
A collection of equipment is required to gain access to the multitude of services being carried.
TAPs ADMs Routers ATM Multiplexers L1/2 Test Equipment
Configurations that may need adjustment if end users change their provisioning. Platforms are underutilized since they are being used in Half Duplex applications A better solution is needed!!! NetQuest

The Ultimate Cost

Missed Surveillance is Pricele$$
Many solutions do not notify agencies of circuit provisioning changes Manual scans (survey) are subject to error Un-Filtered data can over-run probes and storage solutions Budgets are Budgets
NetQuest
The Solution
Consolidate multiple network elements in a purpose built platform. Automatically discover Layer 1/2/3 allocation and protocol content Provide unified IP access to intercept system Scalable ports and bandwidth
NetQuest
The Auto Discovery Process
NetQuest
Unified IP Access
If everything was IP we could:
Sit on top of the stack and monitor everything Eliminate test and multiplexing gear Forget the legacy protocols Make investments in where we are going
NetQuest

Portfolio Deployment details

The products can be deployed as stand alone devices with direct connections to probes. They may also be used in conjunction with each other the solve deeply channelized high speed circuits.
Higher speed containers of IP are directed to probes on 10GigE of I4400/8800 platforms Lower speed containers and PDH are cascaded to I-2400 platforms for deep channel processing NetQuest
Summary
Automatic SDH/SONET L1/L2 discovery and monitoring Eliminate multiple network elements and rack space they occupy Protocol translation (Unified IP Access!!!) Preserve Probe processing capacity for high value functions. Ensures target data is continually monitored. Dramatically reduce CAPEX and OPEX while increasing the surveillance effectiveness. .
