GigaVUE Enriched Metadata for Mobile Networks

The metadata enrichment enhances service provider analytics by generating metadata on 5G/4G/3G network traffic. The AMX correlates the user plane metadata produced by AMI with the control plane metadata produced by the GTP/5G correlation mobility application to produce an enriched metadata feed for the mobile networks. This data feed helps the customers with use cases like service personalization, planning, and many others by containing information about the

o   Subscriber Session
o   Over the Top Application
o   Handset Type
o   Location
o   Flow throughput calculation attributes - DL, UL bytes and time stamp.
o   Application Protocol
o   Core Network Information
o   User Tunnel Information

For information on Control Plane Metadata, refer Control Plane Metadata

For information on AMX, refer Configure Application Metadata Exporter Application.

The architecture of GigaVUE Enriched Metadata for Mobile Networks is as follows:

AMI Configurations

The following CLI commands show the configurations to be done before the attributes are exported:

gsgroup alias GSG_S1U_AMI_01 port-list 1/2/e2 hash advanced

apps metadata app-profile alias AMI_APP_PROFILE

application add id

counter add bytes size 4

counter add inner-bytes size 4

counter add packets size 4

flow add end-reason

ipv4 add destination prefix minimum-mask /32

ipv4 add protocol

ipv4 add source prefix minimum-mask /32

ipv6 add destination prefix minimum-mask /128

ipv6 add next-header

ipv6 add source prefix minimum-mask /128

timestamp add flow-end-msec

timestamp add flow-start-msec

transport add destination-port

transport add source-port

type export

exit

The following CLI commands show how frequently the attributes are exported and to which destination (destination IP address, destination port number) they are exported:

apps metadata exporter alias AMI_METADATA_EXPORTER

app-profile attach alias AMI_APP_PROFILE

cef timeout active 30

cef timeout inactive 15

destination dscp 0

destination ip ver4 172.31.251.1

destination l4 protocol udp

l4 port dest 30100

l4 port src 35100

max-packet-size disable

monitor timeout 60
