IPLOG: Advanced DoT-Compliant Traffic Logging System
IPLOG is a high-performance, carrier-grade logging solution specifically engineered to meet the stringent Department of Telecommunications (DoT) requirements. It serves as a sophisticated data-capture engine that records every packet transition across the network with absolute precision. By providing a legally admissible and highly efficient data retention system, IPLOG ensures that ISPs can fulfill their statutory obligations without compromising network speed or operational costs.
Why Choose IPLOG?
- Strict DoT Compliance: Automatically records all network traffic in the mandatory format (Source IP/Port to Destination IP/Port), ensuring your ISP stays audit-ready.
- Superior Storage Efficiency: Uses advanced compression technology to minimize disk space. For example, 1.5G of traffic generates less than 50MB of logs every 30 minutes, drastically reducing storage costs.
- Zero Data Loss (Offline Mode): If connectivity between the edge NAS and IPLOG is interrupted, logs are stored locally on the IPACCT server and automatically fetched once the link is restored.
- Forensic-Ready Accuracy: Features NTP-synced timestamps to ensure all logs are time-accurate and legally admissible for regulatory or security investigations.
- High-Speed Indexing: Optimized for fast retrieval, allowing administrators to perform granular filtering and targeted searches for specific source addresses in seconds.
Core Features
- Centralized Multi-Node Logging : A single IPLOG instance can connect to and collect data from multiple remote or edge IPACCT systems simultaneously.
- Independent Hardware Architecture : Designed to run on separate physical hardware to ensure that logging processes never impact the performance of your core routing or billing systems.
- Horizontal Scalability : The architecture is built to grow with your network, capable of ingesting and processing multiple Terabytes (TB) of log data per day.
- Policy-Driven Retention : Easily configure automated log retention and archival policies to meet long-term storage mandates while maintaining fast retrieval speeds.
- Advanced Search & Analytics : Includes correlation-based analysis and time-range filtering to simplify network troubleshooting and internal audits.
- Secure Data Integrity : Implements strict access controls and advanced compression to protect log data from unauthorized access or tampering.
Key Benefits
- High Compression Massive storage savings without losing data integrity.
- Fail-Safe Logging Offline mode ensures continuous recording during link failures.
- Fast Retrieval Granular search tools for instant audit reports.
- Scalable Build Handles multi-TB ingestion for large-scale ISP networks.
