iOAM

 

OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) is a set of functions designed to monitor network operation in order to detect network faults and measure its performance. iOAM (in-band OAM) technology promises enhanced manageability and simplified operations for service-layer networks. This video demonstrates iOAM data published into Kafka and analyzed for anomalies using a PNDA Spark application. The app detects anomalies (in this case, path changes) and publishes each anomaly as a topic in Kafka. Both raw iOAM data published into kafka and the anomaly events are then visualized using the ELK Stack.

PSM

 

Cable modems can deliver domestic broadband internet with speeds over 100 Mbps, but poor signal quality can degrade performance significantly. The latest cable modems can now quantify signal interference, allowing the service provider to transmit a modified waveform that counteracts the interference. The PSM project uses PNDA to model the quality of service of thousands of modems deployed in the field, and can even predict future service outages so they can be fixed before they occur.

GiLAN

 

Service providers need tools to monitor the quality of their data services, to make sure that they are in compliance with service-level agreements (SLAs). The GiLAN project offers service providers real-time service assurance, using PNDA as a data collection backbone. All syslogs and SNMP events are captured using Logstash, fed into the Kafka data distribution bus, and consumed by Moogsoft's Incicent.Moog data analysis and presentation package. When a fault occurs in the virtual or physical infrastructure, events are collected using PNDA and displaed as sitautions (clusters of alerts) in Incident.Moog.

Smart Cities

 

Cisco and the Ville de Paris are working together to transform the Place de la Nation into a vision of the future of smart cities. Smart sensors that monitor noise, air quality, temperature and humidity have been connected using Cisco Wi-Fi access points, and smart cameras are used to monitor the flow of cars, bicycles and pedestrians. Cisco uses PNDA to aggregate all these data streams, with live dashboards that help the city understand what's happening every minute of the day.
