Oracle® Communications Operations Monitor Mediation Engine

The Oracle® Communications Monitor Mediation Engine (OCOM) powers the Experience Manager for the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller.

The Experience Manager is a platform that collects SIP, DNS, ENUM, and protocol message traffic received from OCOM Probes. The mediation engine stores the traffic in an internal database, and analyzes aggregated data to provide comprehensive multi-level monitoring, troubleshooting, and interoperability information.

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller supports an embedded, user-configurable OCOM Probe that can act as a probe or as an exporter. The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller can:

• Establish an authenticated, persistent, reliable TCP connection between itself and one or more OCOM Mediation Engines.
• Ensure message privacy by encrypting the TCP connection using TLS.
• Use the TCP connection to send a UTC-timestamped, unencrypted copy of a protocol message to a OCOM Engine.
• Accompany the copied message with related data to include the port/vlan on which the message was sent/received, local and remote IP:port information, and the transport layer protocol.

The following illustration shows how the OCOM (labelled Palladion) Probe handles incoming and outgoing monitored data on the SBC (labelled NN-SD).

Note:

For large TCP packets, the minimum required version of Oracle Communications Operations Monitor (OCOM) is 3.3.70.
