NetworkiQ
The launch of Netflix video services in Australia resulted in many ISPs experiencing an immediate increase in network user traffic of between 10 and 50% and between 100 and 250% for peering traffic (traffic between service providers or with content providers such as Netflix). While Netflix provided a significant one-off jump, video and other data intensive services continue to grow rapidly in total and proportional terms.
The outcome of the increasing demand for, and reliance on, data services is that ISPs and other network service providers need to continually invest in additional capacity (network hardware, broadband interconnect capacity and data centre resources) and capabilities to address the increasing demand despite seeing little or no increase in revenues. Failing to keep pace will impact on the subscriber experience.
There must be a better way and this is where Maser’s NetworkiQ range comes to the fore. NetworkiQ helps customers meet the insatiable demand for data from new standards, devices, threats, services, content and subscribers.
Maser NetworkiQ helps customers manage their data networks more intelligently for
better visibility, optimisation, security, profitability and user experience.
As our partner Procera likes to say……..“Find. See. Do. More.”
Solutions & Applications
Data Optimisation & Management
BROADBAND CONGESTION MANAGEMENT
Maser’s NetworkiQ range of solutions has proven very effective at helping customers identify the protocols, applications, services and content on their networks and then making intelligent decisions about how best to optimise traffic to improve the overall user experience and reduce costs.
Procera Networks
A minority of heavy-use subscribers often use an over representative amount of the overall bandwidth available. Typically this occurs when using file-sharing applications, or other applications that create multiple TCP sessions in parallel, with the aim of gaining maximum bandwidth. The result is that capacity is unable to be allocated fairly to regular users, causing service degradation.
Active traffic management identifies heavy users and scales down their bandwidth usage by those. A Fair usage policy is implemented based on total volume used per month, or a more immediate time interval as decided by the Operator. Capacity is distributed fairly between subscribers regardless how their applications behave.
The availability of capacity for others attempting to connect is secured, only marginally impacting the experience of the heavy users. Network upgrades and associated CAPEX investments can be delayed.

PeerApp
Smart devices have had such a significant impact on our ecosystem, so being able to effectively manage software updates and streaming Internet video is critical for us. Now that we have PeerApp, students, faculty and staff are able to stream video, audio and image content quickly. PeerApp also helps us to manage the congestion in our network during major software updates.
Arthur Brant, Enterprise Infrastructure, Abilene Christian University
The volume and quality expectations associated with OTT consumption are straining operator networks and impacting users’ quality of experience (QoE). While many operators have invested in high-speed broadband networks, they still face customer satisfaction issues around QoE. This can result in churn.
So how can you give your subscribers a better experience?
Store content closer to the edge
By identifying and storing the most popular Internet content – such as video or the upcoming iOS9 update – at the edge of your network, closer to end-subscribers, content can be delivered locally to the subscriber. This accelerates delivery speed as compared to having to retrieve the content each and every time from a distant content source. Better delivery speeds obviously improves QoE. PeerApp calls this ‘local content delivery’. By delivering video, Web, media and live streaming content in close proximity to the users, local content delivery eliminates content access latency and increases content delivery scale by 1-2 orders of magnitude (e.g. serving 10,000 subscribers v. 1M).
High-performance caching – is the basis of local content delivery
Internet content caching (also known as transparent caching, or sometimes open content caching) has been available for some time, bringing many benefits to consumers, content owners and operators alike. The right caching solution has evolved as the Internet evolved and is now response-based and can handle many content types. PeerApp is proud to have over 450 customers globally for our open content caching solution, helping them to speed delivery of video, P2P and other content up to 12 times or more, while also lowering bandwidth costs by 50% or more.

ADVANCED TRAFFIC STEERING
Procera
Advanced Traffic Steering is Procera’s solution for subscriber, application, and content-aware service creation. ATS enables an operator to surgically redirect traffic to value-added service offerings that can benefit from a reduction in the amount of bandwidth and traffic that must be sent through their systems. Optimization, caching, niche analytics, or protocol-specific services are good examples of opportunities for an operator to dramatically reduce their capital expenditures as well as operational complexity with Procera PacketLogic solutions.
To meet the diverse needs of their subscribers, many broadband operators are incorporating value-added services like content filtering, security, video optimization, and subscriber messaging into their service plans. To avoid overwhelming application servers, decreasing network reliability, or increasing network latency, mobile network operators need to redirect service-related traffic in a more selective and intelligent way.
How can mobile operators use traffic steering to better manage bandwidth and application performance? They need solutions that enable them to:
Direct application services traffic intelligently, based on individual subscriber and application needs, in real time optimize application and network performance, without large additional infrastructure investments
Procera enables mobile operators to implement subscriber- and application-aware traffic steering with real-time Intelligent Policy Enforcement (IPE) solutions that provide three key use cases:
- Awareness of both individual subscribers and applications. Our IPE solution provides granular awareness of subscriber and application attributes, enabling highly selective traffic steering in real time. Traffic steering policies can be based on subscriber ID, service plan, location, device, and application type.
- Surgical Steering of mobile application traffic, according to predefined policies. When application traffic matches a traffic steering policy (or a chain of service policies), Procera’s IPE solution ensures traffic is diverted to the appropriate service appliance. Service chains can support multiple services, allowing creation of more sophisticated services that require multiple traffic steering decisions.
- Flexibility to interoperate easily with any value-added service solution. Our IPE solution can steer traffic at any point in the connection—at the start of the flow, after the application is identified, or even if the flow changes mid-stream—and supports mirroring, Layer 2 or 3 divert, or http redirection for steering.
POLICY & CHARGING
Procera
Service Velocity is a key goal for mobile network operators in today’s highly competitive market landscape.
To meet that need, operators are adopting 3GPP standards that enable best-of-breed, multi-vendor solutions for creating and provisioning new, targeted service packages, with flexible charging.
Procera’s PacketLogic solutions support these advantages, integrating tightly into the 3GPP PCC architecture by functioning as a policy enforcement point. Our solutions utilize standardized Gx, Gy, and CDR interfaces to interact with 3GPP PCC components, including the Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF), Online Charging System (OCS) and Offline Charging System (OFCS) to enable innovative services that leverage Procera’s unique visibility of subscriber, application, content, device, location, and quality of experience (QoE).
Use cases include Quota Management, Parental Control, Zero Rating and Policy and Charging Services.
Visibility
NETWORK ANALYTICS
Maser’s NetworkiQ range of solutions has proven very effective at helping customers understand the protocols, applications, services, content and user behaviour on their networks.
Procera
Perspectives provide different views of the network that focus on specific intelligence metrics – Subscriber, Radio Access Network, Video, and many more. The concept of Perspectives in Analytics and Enforcement delivers a more complete picture of the network and enables the operator to deliver the best subscriber experience possible.
Score Perspectives
Procera’s Score Perspective enables a unique solution, Network Experience Scoring. It simplifies the visualization of network quality metrics, making it easier for Engineering and Executives to make the right investment decisions to improve their subscriber’s experience. Score Perspective measures each subscriber’s throughput, latency, and packet loss at sub-second intervals to gauge the ability of the network to deliver a high quality experience to the subscriber. The scoring reflects the performance during peak usage applied to the expecatations for each application class – Web Surfing, Streaming Video, Social Media, Real-time Gaming, Upload, Download and Voice Applications. The measurements include location, device, and service plan to provide context for each subscriber’s traffic.
RAN Perspectives
RAN Quality and real-time location awareness for millions of mobile subscribers
RAN Perspectives is a revolutionary service that gives network operators the power to transform their customer’s experience using real-time updates from any customer’s SIM-enabled mobile device. Why deploy costly probes throughout the network, when you can access information directly from the device with RAN Perspectives, regardless of device type, operating system, or RAN access type – 2G/3G/4G.Gain access the key data indicators of customer experience such as: signal strength, error codes, available networks and more using 3GPP signaling information. RAN Perspectives can be configured to meet your specific network needs and goals and its software can be installed and deployed Over-the-Air (OTA).Once in place, all the real-time information is streamed back into Procera’s PacketLogic Intelligence Platform, where the location and quality information is used to ensure the subscriber experience, quickly diagnose problems, and deliver advanced services to the subscriber.
Content Perspective
Procera’s ContentLogic software enables clearly defined categorization of Internet traffic, enabling sophisticated
policy enforcement based on specific content types or even specific URLs.
ContentLogic provides the content intelligence needed to meet regulatory requirements, minimize the risk posed by malware, phishing or abuse—or to create next-generation subscriber services. Using Procera’s Datastream Recognition Definition Language (DRDL TM), ContentLogic identifies Internet traffic according to well-defined categories and user-defined lists to match any requirement. This enables the full range of Procera policy actions to be applied to specific traffic flows in real time. Whether replacing an existing content management solution or deploying a new revenue service, ContentLogic fits the bill.

Subscriber Perspective associates the subscriber’s network activity with their location, device, service plan, charging, and network quality
With Subscriber Perspective, service providers can deliver targeted service offerings and enhance the overall subscriber experience.
Subscriber Perspective is key in unlocking the needs of each subscriber group on your network to deliver the service offerings that they are wiling to pay for.
Subscriber Perspectives Datasheet
PeerApp
PeerApp’s UBInsight analytics and business intelligence tool gives operators deep visibility into unmanaged content on their network with a focus on reporting the Quality of Experience (QoE) delivered from the UltraBand transparent Internet cache.
UBInsight provides value across an operator’s organization from engineering to marketing and finance. OTT services, specifically video, are overwhelming operator networks and impacting every part of an organization. The tool provides insight into OTT services that can be used to analyze the delivery quality of Internet video, plan for expansion, troubleshoot network problems, control costs and monetize usage trends. An open architecture allows statistics from all cacheable content to be combined with existing reporting, subscriber management and network planning tools. The QoE analysis provides measurements of popular services and comparisons of content served from the Internet and the cache that allow operators to quantify the benefits of transparent caching at various locations in the network. Operators now have a way to visualize the competitive advantage provided with caching.

Improved User Experience
FAIR USE
Procera
Fair Use or Fair Split policies ensure that a few subscribers on an access link cannot degrade the experience for all users. Bandwidth on any link is allocated based on the number of active subscribers or connections to ensure fair access bandwidth for all subscribers, resulting in a better quality of experience for all users.
From Maser’s own experiences in Australia, we have seen how customers installed a Procera solution and then for the first time could clearly identify the very small number of subscribers (known as bandwidth hogs) who are disproportionally consuming bandwidth to the point where it is adversely impacting on the user experience for the vast majority of subscribers. Implementing a fair use policy has then ensured that the service for the vast majority of customers improves and if the bandwidth hogs want to churn to another network because their bandwidth is now being limited to what everyone else is getting, then let them go.
VIDEO TRAFFIC ACCELERATION & OPTIMISATION
PeerApp
With PeerApp’s local content delivery, video can be delivered 12x faster by bringing it closer to end-users. This significantly improves quality of experience and reduces network costs up to 50% or more. PeerApp’s local content delivery solutions can also play a service delivery role, helping operators generate new revenue opportunities.
Driven by services like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video and HBO GO, Internet video consumption is exploding, severely straining operator broadband networks. College, university and K-12 networks face the same quality and cost issues, as students, faculty and staff use the Internet to consume video and media content of longer length and at very large volumes – for both academic and entertainment purposes.
In addition, dynamic events such as live sports and software downloads are causing traffic spikes that impact subscriber Quality of Experience (QoE). Operators and campus networks are looking to increase capacity efficiently without having to add additional costs from hardware, power, and real estate. PeerApp’s local content delivery – built on our open Internet content caching and analytics solutions – optimize networks for both cost and quality.
PeerApp Transparent Caching Primer
Procera Networks
Over-the-top video launches and campaigns can increase traffic and put bandwidth under pressure in a short period of time. In Australia, traffic volumes remained 25% higher than normal 6 weeks after market introduction of Netflix. Network Operators need to be prepared for sudden spikes in their network utilization and be able to protect the quality of traffic for sensitive applications such as Voice over IP, to provide satisfactory quality for the majority of their customers.
Procera active traffic management reduces the average bit rate used per video stream, only in areas where congestion occurs. This ensures that critical communications are secured and continue to function undisturbed – with minimal impact to the video quality. Customers may experience a barely noticable quality degradation from 1080p to 720p during the time of congestion only.

TOLL FRAUD PREVENTION
Real-time toll fraud monitoring and detection
Find toll fraud sooner with TollShield™
Last year, global toll fraud wiped out over $38 Billion in telecommunications in industry revenue.
The danger of toll fraud lies in its ferocious speed. Every minute counts. And many Carriage Service Providers (CSPs) don’t realise they have been robbed – until it is too late. Using untraceable techniques, like number scamming, PBX hacking and call hijacking, criminals can overcome passive defence measures like firewalls to rapidly breach and exploit a network. CSPs can be defrauded thousands of dollars in just a few hours, with no hope of restitution or recovery. But TollShield® actively protects your network and revenue in real time.
Traffic monitoring
Most fraud mitigation solutions rely on Call Data Reports (CDRs) and other after-the-fact information. But this data comes too late to block toll fraud or mitigate loss.
TollShield™ draws on your network data in real-time, and uses proprietary technology to parse up to one billion calls, for the suspicious hallmarks of toll fraud.
FraudScore™ ranking
A typical CSP can identify hundreds of plausible threats every day, creating a bottleneck as your Team manages a barrage of competing priorities.
FraudScore™ intelligently assesses, classifies and ranks all active threats in real-time. So your Team stays focused on the most pressing fraud threats.
Real-time notification
It’s no use detecting and ranking suspicious traffic, unless your Team can act on it quickly. Accordingly, TollShield™ produces a real-time feed of detected threats.

Increased Profitability
REDUCE COSTS
Several Australian NetworkiQ customers have achieved significant cost savings by optimizing traffic and at the same time seen a reduction in customer care calls. In addition to any customer care savings, costs have been reduced by delaying capital expenditure on network capacity upgrades and reducing or delaying peering and access capacity (e.g. Telstra AGVC costs) charges.
One of the major costs to ISPs in Australia is Telstra’s AGVC (Aggregating Virtual Circuits) and NBNCo’s CVC (Connectivity Virtual Circuit) access charges which ISPs must pay to get access to the end customers over the Telstra or NBN networks. In many cases there are also quite high penalties if an ISP exceeds their purchased access capacity.
Procera
Procera’s bandwidth congestion and fair use solutions allows service providers to simultaneously improve their quality of service to the vast majority of their subscribers while reducing their networks total bandwidth consumption. This is achieved by reducing the total allowed bandwidth and then applying fair use policies to all subscribers. Invariably the only ones negatively impacted are the ‘bandwidth hogs’ (which actually cost the service provider money) with the majority receiving a better service.
Maser has seen ISPs typically reduce their total bandwidth consumption by 10-20% which has resulted in considerable access savings (Opex) and delays in needing to purchase new network hardware capacity (Capex savings).
