Smarter Network Visibility with Aviz Service Node

July 1, 2025Deep Network Observability

What is ASN?

ASN is a high-performance, DPDK-powered packet processing appliance that runs on standard x86 servers. Integrated with the Open Packet Broker (OPB) and Aviz’s Network Co-Pilot, it forms a complete, vendor-neutral visibility stack.

Key benefits

• Unified monitoring: Covers 4G, 5G NSA/SA, data centers, and enterprise sites.
• Deep Packet Inspection: Identifies encrypted apps (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) using multiple techniques.
• Per-subscriber KPIs: Correlates control/user plane flows for precise throughput, latency, and session metrics.
• Packet de-duplication: Removes duplicates from multiple taps to save bandwidth and tool costs.
• Smart load balancing: Distributes subscriber sessions across tools to prevent overload.
• Open data export: Streams enriched metadata to Elasticsearch, Kibana, Kafka, or any data lake.

“Operators need a vendor-neutral way to scale packet processing on commodity servers. ASN delivers 50% cost savings by removing proprietary hardware and licensing fees. It gives customers choice, control, and significant savings — the three C’s that define our value.”

— Ilanchezhian Raman, Senior Solution Architect at Aviz
