What is DART?
Dynamic Actionable Recognition Technology (DART) integrates Allot’s vast expertise in IP traffic identification and policy enforcement into a highly effective toolkit for managing bandwidth consumption and service performance in mobile and fixed broadband networks.
DART gives network operators the visibility that enables them to optimize their service by introducing traffic management policies that will assure QoS (Quality of Service), to monetize their network with value-based charging schemes and value added services, and to personalize their offering by enabling subscribers to benefit from enhanced QoE (Quality of Experience).
DART Benefits
- Comprehensive visibility of all network traffic
- Regular protocol pack updates for up-to-the-minute recognition capabilities
- Uninterrupted traffic detection and enforcement through hitless signature updates
- Enhanced QoS policy enforcement and network management
- Ability to monetize specific applications and deliver better QoE

Multiple Analysis Methods
DART employs multiple inspection and analytical methods to identify Layer 7applications and protocols. DART utilizes continuously evolving forms of analysis that are able to accurately identify new applications and protocols. This combination of behavioral and statistical techniques greatly improves recognition capabilities and reduces unidentified traffic, even at maximum speeds and peak loads.
Hitless Signature Library Updates
Intelligent service optimization, monetization and personalization begin with granular visibility and an understanding of how IP-broadband network resources and services are being consumed. The challenge for operators is to keep pace with the ever growing number of frequently changing applications and protocols. For example, BitTorrent and Skype tend to upgrade their client software on a regular basis and encourage (and in some cases even force) users to move on to the latest release. DART employs hitless update of its signature library, enabling applications to be continuously and accurately detected and classified.
DART provides four layers of traffic awareness: application, device, subscriber, and network topology.
