VIAVI QT-50 Software Agent

An integral part of the JDSU NetComplete^TM Service Assurance VoIP portfolio, the QT-50 addresses service providers' needs for proactively monitoring and troubleshooting quality of service (QoS) issues experienced at the customer premises. As part of the QT-family, the QT-50, working together with NetAnalyst^TM Test OSS, can place and receive active test calls between other QT software agents and probes deployed across the network. Performance test results are consolidated and correlated in NetOptimize^TM, the JDSU NetComplete performance management system. These results include full QoS analysis such as MOS, R-factor, jitter, packet loss, and packet statistics. With this proactive testing, problems are identified and resolved before being experienced by end-users. When problems are encountered, the on-demand active testing features of NetAnalyst allow service providers to drill down, sectionalize the network, and rapidly isolate faults for troubleshooting. Service providers can also use this information proactively for trending and time-of-day analysis to identify areas of potential eminent degradation.
