Aviz Service Node R2.4 – Release Announcement
April 1, 2026
Deep Network Observability
Cloud-Native, Precision-Driven Session Intelligence for Modern Networks
Aviz Networks is excited to announce the release of Aviz Service Node (ASN) R2.4, delivering a major advancement in network intelligence, visibility, and deployment flexibility across telco and enterprise environments.
This release introduces enhanced cloud-native capabilities, deeper traffic insights, and improved operational efficiency enabling organizations to monitor, analyze, and optimize modern distributed networks with greater precision and control.
What’s New in R2.4
Enhanced Traffic Visibility & Accuracy
- VLAN Retention for VXLAN Traffic
Ensures consistent TAP and ingress point visibility by preserving VLAN information during VXLAN de-encapsulation. - Advanced DPI with Application Categorization
Delivers deeper traffic intelligence with payload-aware inspection and classification across application categories such as AI, streaming, and messaging.
Cloud-Native Expansion
- vASN for Cloud (Telco & Enterprise)
Deploy ASN as a virtual instance with support for both DPDK and non-DPDK environments, optimized for cloud infrastructure, including AWS. - vASN_TAP (vTAP) for Workload-Level Visibility
Lightweight packet capture agent for granular traffic visibility across VMs and cloud workloads with support for filtering, truncation, and tunneling. - Terraform-Based Deployment Automation
Simplifies deployment of vASN and vTAP in cloud environments with ready-to-use infrastructure-as-code templates.
