Cisco Service Assurance Sensor SFP
Simplify the deployment of service assurance with granular, real-time performance visibility. These sensors use microsecond precision to detect micro-bursts and transient issues that can disrupt high-speed links, available in hardware, software, and pluggable SFP formats.
Product Overview
Real-Time Visibility
Deep, microsecond-precision monitoring detects micro-bursts and transient issues before they impact users.
SFP Form Factor
Deploy monitoring capability directly in any SFP port across your network infrastructure.
SLA Assurance
Validate that critical links meet their Service Level Agreements with continuous monitoring.
Active & Passive
Active synthetic testing validates proactively; passive monitoring analyzes real user traffic.
Virtual & Hardware
Deploy as cloud-native software or ruggedized hardware for edge and data center locations.
Provider Connectivity
Part of the Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance portfolio (formerly Accedian) for end-to-end visibility.
Features and Benefits
Microsecond-precision service assurance at scale.
The Assurance Sensor SFP delivers deep, real-time performance visibility for proactive network monitoring and SLA validation.
Microsecond Precision
Sub-microsecond timestamping captures transient network events that standard tools miss entirely.
Synthetic Testing
Inject test packets to proactively validate network health and detect issues before customers are impacted.
Passive Monitoring
Analyze real user traffic in real time to reveal actual end-user experience without injecting test traffic.
Multi-Format Deployment
Available as pluggable SFP, cloud-native software, or ruggedized hardware for any environment.
SLA Validation
Continuous monitoring ensures critical services meet contractual Service Level Agreements.
Brownout Detection
Identify sub-second micro-bursts and brownouts that degrade performance on high-speed links.
