Boro operates as a client-server application with two main components:
the Boro probe software and the Boro server responsible for collecting and processing statistics

Secure and robust

Boro Probes: Strategic Network Monitoring for Reliable Content Delivery

The Boro software probes, distributed strategically throughout the network, monitor packet loss and video freezes for various stream types such a s UDP, HLS, DASH, RTP, HTTP, SRT, and RTMP. Additionally, Boro facilitates ad insertion control using SCTE-35 markers for MPEG-TS and HLS streams.

This solution enables efficient and cost-effective monitoring of content delivery networks, effectively localizing common violations.

Strategically Placed Boro Probes for Network Monitoring

Boro probes are strategically placed at key points within the network, including the head-end station, input stream monitoring points, transcoding, multiplexing, and encrypting modules, as well as endpoints of main delivery networks and last-mile locations.

Data Consolidation, Visual Reports, Swift Violation Notifications

The server consolidates the received data, generating reports presented in easily comprehensible graphic formats for each network segment within a web browser. It additionally ensures swift email notifications regarding network violations
