Multipath Bandwidth Spectrometry
Adaptive Private Networking’s forwarding decisions are based on the Talari devices’ automated collection of rich real-time information. Multipath Bandwidth Spectrometry is the key technology that lets us work our magic.
Classically, spectrometry is a highly precise view of an object’s detailed characteristics, possible with the tiniest of samples.
By analogy, Bandwidth Spectrometry is a highly precise view of each network path’s detailed characteristics, including loss, latency and jitter. It is measured continuously on an individual packet-by-packet basis. When (and only when) no traffic is using the path, heartbeat packets provide the means to have these measurements continuously available.
Multipath Bandwidth Spectrometry performs continuous, advanced, multipath, intelligent monitoring at the packet, WAN-link, and network-path level. It uses dynamic, end-to-end algorithms to track loss, latency, and jitter per network connection, not just for a local link. It uses per-packet encapsulation, timestamping and sequencing to help achieve this.
