OVERVIEW

Cricket IP is a powerful cost-effective 10/100Mb Ethernet Video quality and service assurance monitoring and troubleshooting probe for operators that need to monitor, analyze and debug at the video edge or customer premise for IP and MPEG transport quality. Cricket IP is perfect for monitoring at the network edge by providing continuous monitoring of up to 10 Unicast or Multicast flows with deep MPEG packet inspection. Integrating iVMS™ correlates information from all IneoQuest probes in the network with all real-time measurements that Cricket IP is logging, and notifies the network operations center (NOC) of any problems. Alerted to a specific video edge and customer premise fault, the service provider can be proactive in correcting the situation, potentially leading to reduced call center traffic volume.

Complete Edge Monitoring and Analysis Capabilities

Cricket IP features a 10/100Mb interface that can be configured for inband or out-ofband control. Cricket IP is ideal for debug and analysis of Unicast and Muticast flows and is able to issue multicast joins and measure IGMP performance in real-time. The 10/100Mb Fast Ethernet connection allows an IP communication path to IQMediaAnalyzerPro, the web configuration interface and the IneoQuest iVMS™ Video Management System for seamless monitoring from the headend to home. Combined with the iVMS, Cricket IP in addition to the rest of the IneoQuest portfolio provides the most advanced IPTV Quality and Service Assurance solution available.
