AVDS has partnered with pathSolutions to bring cutting-edge network visibility solutions to customers looking to maximize their network performance envelope and avoid network problems that plague VoIP, video, and data networks.

The companies’ combined offerings allow organizations to know the health of their entire network infrastructure and insure that their networks run clean for all applications, across the enterprise. PathSolutions’ offering is designed to rapidly deploy to any size network and provide Total Network Visibility® to view the health and performance of all switches, routers, servers, and links, throughout the network.

This permits answering the question of:·

“What was the network doing that caused a poor quality call?”
The solution has the ability to perform a layer-2 traceroute to identify all involved links, switches, and routers between any two IP endpoints and then disclose the health and performance of those links during a specific point in time.

As a result, one report can be used to provide information on the root-cause of the problem:
“The poor quality call between the phone and the VoIP gateway at 9:35am was due to port 6 of the Finance Switch dropping 12% packets due to a duplex mismatch.”
