Release notes, Paragon Active Assurance software version 3.2.0¶
Introduction¶
General notes¶
Please note that not all features of Paragon Active Assurance are available to every customer; rather, availability is dependent on what product or service has been purchased.
New and changed features¶
Collection of Junos TWAMP measurements¶
Paragon Active Assurance now has the ability to collect TWAMP measurement results from Juniper routers and switches running Junos. The Test Agent connects to the Juniper device via NETCONF, evaluates errored second criteria, and reports all data back to Control Center.
Fully scalable streaming API¶
The streaming API now supports up to 100,000 concurrent streams.
Path trace BGP AS reporting¶
A path taken by a packet through a network to a specified destination can be defined in terms of a BGP AS path, which indicates the autonomous systems (ASes) that routing information passed through to get to the destination.
The Path trace tool has been augmented with a feature that has the Test Agent report autonomous systems (BGP AS numbers) discovered along the path. This allows you to determine, for example, whether the path is the intended standard one or deviates from the standard.
Lower packet rates configurable in Path trace tool¶
The minimum traceroute packet rate in the Path trace tool has been lowered to 0.1 pps. This lets you prevent artificial packet loss from being reported when traceroute packets encounter a router which limits its ICMP TTL exceeded response rates.
Path trace in Test Agent Application¶
The Path trace feature, previously available in the Test Agent Appliance, is now also supported in the Test Agent Application.
Periodically active TWAMP streams¶
Test Agents can now run TWAMP traffic towards reflectors in periodic bursts instead of a continuous stream. The Test Agents then repeats a cycle where it sends TWAMP packets for a given period, then stays silent for the rest of the cycle. The periodicity option allows you to test against a large number of reflectors in round-robin fashion.
Full TWAMP for IPv6¶
Full TWAMP (which uses the TWAMP control protocol) can now be run towards IPv6 reflectors. Previously only TWAMP Light was compatible with IPv6.
TWAMP hardware timestamping in Test Agent Application¶
Test Agent Application now supports the use of hardware timestamps in TWAMP measurements.
Enhanced Control Center Web security compliance¶
The default TLS configuration for Control Center now requires clients to support TLS 1.2 or higher and enables HSTS.
Deprecated features¶
