AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing communication network architectures, particularly in cloud-native xG systems, face challenges in observing and managing network functions due to the interdependence of microservices in containers, leading to performance unpredictability, increased latency, and difficulty in correlating encrypted protocols, which are not adequately addressed by current observability solutions.

Method used

A non-intrusive method using an external agent with an observation program, such as eBPF, selects and correlates data from cloud-native applications, including encrypted protocols, to provide end-to-end visibility and monitoring without modifying the software applications, leveraging context parameters and user libraries to enrich network management metrics.

Benefits of technology

Enables comprehensive, non-intrusive monitoring of cloud-native xG networks by correlating data from different software applications and protocols, improving performance management and reducing latency, while maintaining application integrity and user experience.
