Yipes HawkEye Real-time Network Measurement System

Reliance Globalcom is an internet-based, real-time wide area network monitoring and performance system, Yipes HawkEye, that measures latency, jitter and packet delivery from end-to-end.

 

Yipes HawkEye

Yipes HawkEye is an innovative, global performance measurement system that provides real-time network performance data. HawkEye is the first system of its kind to measure performance across a multi-vendor, global Carrier Ethernet network. Yipes HawkEye also supports Reliance Globalcom's industry-leading Service Level Agreements.

 

The HawkEye system uses an out-of-band measurement path to monitor performance between and within all of the major domestic and international metropolitan areas in which Reliance Globalcom operates.

 

The measurement data provided by Yipes HawkEye is made available to all Reliance Globalcom customers in real-time via the YipesCARE web portal where customers can view custom graphs showing key performance metrics, sampled in 1-minute intervals. YipesCARE also provides customer network utilization statistics.

 

Yipes HawkEye fn

Leveraging its HawkEye platform, Reliance Globalcom provides HawkEye fn premium service. Yipes HawkEye fn is the variation of the HawkEye service developed for the financial securities industry. The service monitors network performance between a client location and more than 70 financial exchanges, ECNs and trading platform locations. This service addresses the needs of brokerages and buy-side firms whose trading success depends upon low-latency and high-reliability network performance.

 

Key Performance Measurements:

 

Route-specific latency

Latency is the delay in packet transmission across a network. Reliance Globalcom provides route-specific latency performance data within and between each of the metro areas it serves rather than network-wide averages.

 

Network jitter

Jitter is the variation of latency and refers to the recurring changes in the timing of a data stream that can degrade voice connections, make video appear jerky and significantly impact other key network applications. Controlling jitter has become increasingly important as more enterprises move to time-sensitive applications such as multiple-feed video conferencing and VoIP telephony.

 

Packet delivery

Packet delivery is the percentage of data packets successfully delivered and is the leading barometer in determining the consistency and reliability of any network.
