Manage ABR video traffic with granular policy control and signature detection powered by machine learning.
Video traffic will account for 76% of all network traffic by 2025. Manage it intelligently to minimize network CapEx and OpEx, identify new services, increase average revenue per user (ARPU). With ABR video streaming, the client device selects the appropriate bit rate based on current network conditions and device capabilities.
F5 has tools to manage ABR video, making it easy, for example, to rate limit an uncontrolled 4K on-demand video (a 40 Mbps stream) to 1080p HD (a 7 Mbps stream).
Detect and classify a wide range of applications with a traffic classification engine that can identify over 4,000 application signatures. Accurately identify video stream resolution and source—along with many other criteria—using a purpose-built machine learning algorithm.
For mobile service providers, COVID-19 has been the catalyst for dramatic traffic growth as enterprises and consumers transition to virtual interactions.
