TimePack is a new technology that embeds time and location data into network packets to provide real-time network visibility and universal latency monitoring. It allows infrastructure to become intelligent and latency-aware. TimePack monitors packet journeys from source to destination and provides visibility even for cloud services. The solution includes network probes, plugins for Linux, and inline monitoring. It can simulate traffic and provides a dashboard for real-time monitoring with minimal overhead. Future plans include integrating the technology into network devices and developing an analyzer appliance to extract TimePack data for detailed traffic analysis.

2. The Problem
You are using the wrong tool

3. Nowadays network performance monitoring is based on
traffic analysis and complex event correlation.
!
The amount of data is continuously increasing and old
technologies cannot cope the ever-growing amount of data.
!
TimePack is a new technology to provide network visibility
and universal latency monitoring.
It enables the whole infrastructure to become intelligent
and latency aware.
Why TimePack?

4. Time and location are carried on the same data packet
!
The IP packet travels from source to destination carrying
the entire history of its journey
!
Cloud services don’t offer any visibility of the underlying infrastructure,
every application flow can be efficiently monitored.

8. TimePack for Linux
Every Linux machine can apply TimePack on specific traffic and the receiving service can
be aware of the latency between source and consumer, without any knowledge of the
underlying infrastructure. This represent the best solution for cloud monitoring.
TCP/IP latency monitor for the whole datacenter
Two servers Timepack aware can calculate the latency for a specific TCP/IP connection.
This metric will be exported via SNMP, making possible to poll all servers and obtain a TCP/
IP live latency monitor
PureIP for TimePack
Streaming and financial market data use UDP multicast, we can swap the UDP with IP
+timepack and we achieve network visibility without overhead and the same performance of
UDP

9. Silicon code ready to be installed on
network devices (switch, routers)
!
Any enabled device can add its own information providing greater
visibility, no more a simple end-to-end measurement
!
Can be used in every network (MPLS,VPN, 4G, Satellite) and for
a specific traffic (i.e. FIX)
!
Very low infrastructure impact, transparent for the whole network
Inline deployment - Packet latency

10. TimePack analyser
In 2015 we will develop a dedicated network appliance to analyze live traffic, extract all
TimePack information and use for monitoring . The hardware will be highly customized and
based on 10G capture card and GPU for packet processing.
One view for the entire network latency
Combining all our technologies we will be able to provide a dashboard where you can see
the link latency (estimated with the probes), you can drill down to TCP/IP latency (with
TimePack for Linux) and finally check the single packet latency (thanks to the analyzer).
This is our understanding of network visibility.
SDN integration
This is the end goal of Zerolatency, make a network intelligent and capable of self optimize
its performance. For example if a traffic is slowing down, the SDN controller can be
instructed to change queue priority for this flow or calculate the optimal route based on
desired latency
