Common questions

Powered by AI

EcoQoE uses TCP retransmit metrics and SYN-SYN+ACK/ACK delays to diagnose network performance issues such as server response time and customer WiFi quality. This enables it to identify problems like bad routers, noisy WiFi bands, and other last-mile issues. By analyzing these metrics, EcoQoE can pinpoint issues affecting customers' quality of experience, including potential problems like viruses, botnets, or poor network configurations .

RDP.RU's embrace of NFV facilitates the transformation from traditional hardware-based solutions to flexible, software-defined networking environments. This transition enables ISPs to deploy scalable, cost-effective solutions that are easily upgradable and adaptable to changing technological needs. RDP.RU's NFV-ready platforms, such as EcoNAT and EcoDPI, allow for simplified management and orchestration of network functions, improving operational efficiency and responsiveness to demand fluctuations .

RDP.RU supports sustainable scalability through modular, NFV-ready platforms that allow ISPs to expand their services as demand increases. The use of software-based solutions on x86 hardware ensures cost effectiveness, while their comprehensive product suite, including EcoNAT, EcoBRAS, and EcoDPI, meets diverse functionality needs. This range supports flexible deployment and rapid scaling, evidenced by capabilities like seamless integration of URL filtering, NAT, and quality of service in a single platform like EcoSGE, without adding significant hardware costs .

The Eco3in1 platform offers broadband access operators significant advantages by providing a consolidated solution that incorporates essential functionalities of CGNAT, URL filtering, and BRAS on a single physical platform. This reduces the need for multiple disparate systems, lowering operational complexity and costs. Additionally, its support for up to 160 Gbps throughput and 250,000 subscribers enhances service delivery and scalability, meeting the demands of high-density environments, all while compatible with NFV standards for future-proofing .

RDP.RU enhances reliability and performance under various environmental conditions through technological considerations such as fanless design, extended temperature operation from -10 to +55°C, and modular structures with redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans. These features ensure that the equipment, such as EcoRouter platforms, maintains high performance and reliability regardless of environmental challenges .

URL filtering in RDP.RU's solutions, particularly via the EcoFilter, plays a significant role in security by analyzing IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, supporting filtering based on URLs, hosts, and IP masks, and applying blacklist/whitelist rules. This capability allows the system to enforce access controls and monitor user activities, thereby enhancing the overall security posture. Additionally, URL filtering aids in data management by logging URL and host information for security audits and big data analysis .

RDP.RU competes against major networking giants such as Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, and Nokia across multiple product categories. Each of these competitors has significant market presence and resources, posing a challenge to RDP.RU. However, RDP.RU differentiates itself through cost-effective, high-performance solutions that support NFV and SDN technologies, specifically tailored for Russian ISPs like Rostelecom. This localization and flexibility potentially provide RDP.RU with a niche market position, capitalizing on specific regional and technological needs where larger competitors may not focus as intensively .

Container virtualization technology in EcoRouter platforms contributes to improved service management for ISPs by enabling them to run multiple isolated services on a single hardware platform efficiently. This reduces the need for dedicated hardware resources for different services, optimizing infrastructure utilization. The modularity and flexibility inherent in container technology facilitate rapid deployment and scaling of services, aiding ISPs to adapt quickly to changing customer demands and network conditions .

EcoNAT is designed to meet all RFC requirements for Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN), including Full Cone NAT (EIM/EIF), IP address-pool pairing, and port parity preservation mode support. It supports NAT outbound refresh behavior, hairpinning, and reassembly of fragmented packets. EcoNAT also limits the number of allocated ports per subscriber for UDP/TCP, incorporates TCP state tracking with flexible timeouts, and has a port block allocation (PBA) option for log compression. These features, coupled with its NFV and SDN readiness, easy performance scaling, and deployment flexibility, make EcoNAT ideal for high-performance networking .

The EcoDPI platform supports redundancy through its load balancer's N+X scheme, which provides DPI unit redundancy. It offers bypass switching scenarios for enhanced reliability, such as switching to bypass mode if a heartbeat from the DPI controller is missing or in case of power supply failure. The load balancing traffic between DPI units and merging of asymmetric traffic flows further ensure continuity in network service delivery by distributing traffic efficiently and maintaining consistent service even under failure conditions .
