More than ever before, broadband service providers (BSPs) face multiple new challenges in delivering quality broadband services to their subscribers. The proliferation of Peer-to-Peer (P2P), video, multi-player gaming and other bandwidth-intensive applications can heavily impact bandwidth – for example, in some networks, P2P exceeds 70% of total network traffic. Adding more bandwidth to resolve the problem can impact OpEx, and in some regions, additional bandwidth resources may be unavailable or come only at a high premium.

But bandwidth pressures are only the beginning. In a highly competitive marketplace, BSPs strive to differentiate via new revenue-generating services such as VoIP and IPTV; however, these services are especially sensitive to latency, and QoS must be maintained in order to retain subscribers. And increasingly, BSPs are offering tiered service packages to equitably distribute bandwidth resources among subscribers.

Procera Networks’ PacketLogic solutions are deployed by hundreds of ILECs, CLECs, PTTs and other broadband service providers worldwide to meet these goals through patent-pending next-generation technology that provides deep visibility into and control over network traffic.

PacketLogic solutions provide deep packet inspection capabilities that allow highly accurate identification of network traffic such as BitTorrent, YouTube, Skype and others – even if these applications use port-hopping, encryption, masking or other behaviors to hide their identity. PacketLogic provides precision visibility into network traffic, allowing accurate management and optimization of bandwidth. Rules-based management and traffic shaping allows allocation of bandwidth by application (such as VoIP), customer tier level, time-of-day, volume, or per user.
