Revolutionizing Provincial Network Efficiency: How Sichuan Broadcasting Achieved 95% Traffic Visibility & Cost-Saving Routing
Project Background
Sichuan Radio and Television Network Co., Ltd. operates under the leadership of Sichuan’s broadcasting authority. Our mission is to unify and optimize provincial-level broadcasting networks following principles of government-guided market operations, integrated asset management, and balanced social-economic benefits. We aim to build a province-wide, secure, and high-performance integrated information network spanning cities, counties, and rural areas.
Key Challenge:
With growing demand for internet bandwidth and CDN services, we needed to enhance user experience and internalize traffic flow by consolidating regional third-party traffic onto our provincial platform.
Solution Overview
Deployment Strategy
Maintain Existing Architecture:
Preserve the current three-tier network hierarchy (core-aggregation-access) while integrating new solutions.Edge Traffic Analysis:
Deploy monitoring devices externally to core routers to analyze outbound traffic patterns.
Core Functionalities
Granular Traffic Control:
IP/Application Throttling: Set speed limits or block specific IPs/protocols.
Protocol Customization: Identify private/proprietary protocols (e.g., internal apps).
Intelligent Routing:
Offload video streaming, P2P downloads, and gaming traffic to cost-effective external networks.Real-Time Analytics:
95%+ Protocol Recognition Rate: Visual dashboards for live traffic insights.
Log Management: Exportable logs/reports for auditing and compliance.
4.User-Friendly Features
Policy Automation: Apply time-based rules (e.g., peak-hour throttling).
Zero-Learning Curve: Simple configuration via intuitive interfaces.
Why This Matters
By centralizing traffic management, we achieved:
✅ Enhanced network security & stability
✅ Optimized bandwidth utilization
✅ Scalable architecture for future growth
