FlowVUE for Subscriber Awareness
Carriers: make big data manageable
The FlowVUE® feature is a licensable addition to the GigaSMART® engine that provides subscriber IP-based flow sampling, which enables existing security and monitoring tools to connect to the latest high-speed pipes by providing a representative view of traffic for diagnostic coverage. Unlike traditional diagnostic methods, the FlowVUE feature intelligently reduces the amount of traffic, while keeping the integrity of the data flows intact, but at a lower speed feed within a smaller pipe.
The FlowVUE feature allows for active sampling of a subscriber’s device (known as a user endpoint IP or UE IP) across GPRS Tunneling Protocol user-data plane (GTP-u) tunnels. The integrity of the subscriber flows is preserved by forwarding all the flows associated with the sampled UE IP to the appropriate monitoring and analytic tools.
The numerous benefits of FlowVUE
- Enhances accuracy of Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring.
- Cost-effectively reduces the amount of data, while enabling Big Data throughput processing.
- Further reduces traffic volumes to the tool infrastructure when combined with the advanced filtering capabilities of GigaSMART Adaptive Packet Filtering.
- Enables operators to detect and replace inactive devices through user-configurable timeouts.

GigaSMART Features
GigaSMART® offers a number of other essential traffic intelligence services required for active visibility into infrastructure blind spots, including:
NetFlow Generation
Delivering basic Layer 2–4 network traffic data to analysis tools.
Advanced Flow Slicing
Eliminates these issues by slicing payloads and packets from long data flow.
Source Port Labeling
Provides context to packets and allows tools to properly assess network behavior and threats based on where they are.
Adaptive Packet Filtering
Identifies patterns across any part of the network packet, including the packet payload.
SSL/TLS Decryption
Creates a secure channel between the server and the end user's computer or other devices as they exchange information.
Packet Slicing
Truncates packets while preserving the portion of the packet (the protocol headers) required for network analysis.
Advanced Load Balancing
Divides and distributes traffic among multiple tools, so network and security visibility can scale.
De-duplication
Targets, identifies and eliminates duplicate packets, blocking unnecessary duplication and sending optimized flows.
Masking
Provides customizable data protection by overwriting specific packet fields with a set pattern.
Tunneling
Alleviates blindness of business-critical traffic at remote sites, virtualized data centers, or hosted in a public cloud.
Application Visualization
Provides a complete view of the applications running on your network automatically.
Application Filtering Intelligence
Extends Layer 7 visibility to thousands of common and proprietary applications.
Application Metadata Intelligence
Empowers your security information and event management and network performance monitoring tools.
GTP Correlation
Enables mobile service providers to monitor subscriber data in GPRS Tunneling Protocol tunnels.
5G Correlation
Intelligently forward subscriber sessions to specific tools by filtering on subscriber, user device, RAN or network slice IDs.
FlowVUE Flow Sampling
Provides subscriber IP-based flow sampling.
SIP/RTP Correlation
Enables enterprises and service providers to monitor VoIP traffic.
