Route Explorer

Network engineers need help to deliver a predictable IP network service infrastructure to support increasingly sensitive, converged services such as VoIP, video and web-enabled applications. The very distributed intelligence that makes IP networks resilient and cost-effective, makes them vulnerable to unexpected and intermittent degradations and disruptions. Yet, traditional SNMP management can't cope with the dynamic, network-layer problems that cause unpredictable and unexplained behavior in IP networks today.

The Route Explorer family is the industry's first Route Analysis solution. Route Explorer provides network-layer management by leveraging the intelligence of IP routing protocols to provide unprecedented visibility into the complex interactions in IP networks. A single Route Explorer appliance provides unified, network-wide Layer 3 monitoring, analysis and troubleshooting for Enterprise and Service Provider networks across a broad range of popular routing protocols. The Route Explorer solution simultaneously supports multiple Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) such as EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS, as well as BGP and RFC 2547bis MPLS VPNs, across multiple areas and Autonomous Systems (AS). Route Explorer provides network engineering departments a rapid return on investment (ROI) by decreasing unpredictable network behavior and downtime, and increasing user and engineering productivity
