# What's New?

## **Release 2.1**

ASN 2.1 introduces key enhancements including control session timeout support, active bandwidth KPIs, and advanced observability packaging for Telco and DC environments. It supports flexible mode switching (TELCO ⇄ DC), improved App ID detection, and RADIUS Flex Export. The release also includes memory optimizations, critical bug fixes, and retains all features from ASN 2.0 with improved stability and performance.

**Key Features & Enhancements**

* [**Control session timeout support** ](aviz-service-node-graphical-user-interface-guide/configuration/configuring-control-session-timeout-and-active-communication-kpi)- This feature enables automatic timeout handling for inactive control-plane sessions, helping to free up system resources and maintain performance in long-running deployments. It allows the system to detect and clean up sessions that have exceeded a defined inactivity period, improving session lifecycle management and resource efficiency.
* [**KPI: Active communication bandwidth**](aviz-service-node-graphical-user-interface-guide/configuration/configuring-control-session-timeout-and-active-communication-kpi) **-** This feature introduces a new KPI to measure the active bandwidth usage of control-plane sessions. It enables real-time monitoring of data transmission rates during session activity, helping operators track usage patterns, detect anomalies, and optimize resource allocation. This KPI enhances observability and supports detailed traffic analysis per session.
* [ASN Telco &  DC Observability Packaging ](https://app.gitbook.com/o/dkdATNh9rgmUdWqCxrtc/s/YfL8XRgjJPMQgyU7TZUv/~/changes/3/getting-started/asn-visualization-integrated-installer)
* **Radius support -** , tailored to the needs o and other service providers. It allows configurable selection of RADIUS attributes for export, enabling integration with external analytics, billing, or monitoring systems. The flexibility helps align with varying customer requirements and simplifies downstream processing of authentication and accounting data.
* **Flex Export support -** The flexibility helps align with varying customer requirements and simplifies downstream processing of authentication and accounting data.This feature provides flexible export capabilities for RADIUS-based session data,Uplane,5G data.
* ASN DC mode Enhanced for IP session and FTTH support - &#x20;
* **ASN App ID detection enhancements** - ASN 2.1 improves the accuracy and coverage of Application ID detection, enabling better classification of network traffic based on application type. These enhancements support more granular visibility into user behavior, improve analytics precision, and help in enforcing app-level policies. This upgrade strengthens observability for both Telco and DC deployments.
* Mode change support. -TELCO to DC or Vice-Versa
* ASN also support Connect-X NIC&#x20;
* Comprehensive Telco feature set, memory optimisations & critical bug fixes\
    • Retains all capabilities from ASN 2.0\
    • Enhanced metadata extraction\
    • Improved stability and performance

## **Release 2.0**

The ASN R2.0 release brings enterprise-ready enhancements and telco-grade capabilities, making it the most powerful and scalable version yet. With a focus on advanced traffic processing, deep packet inspection, and seamless packet capture, this release enables real-time network intelligence and improved operational efficiency.

**Key Highlights of ASN R2.0**

1. **Enterprise & Telco Ready** – ASN R2.0 ensures seamless deployment across both enterprise and high-capacity telco environments. Whether managing large-scale enterprise infrastructure or a high-traffic telecom network, its enhanced scalability and efficiency make deployment smooth and reliable.
2. [**Optimized Performance with Packet Deduplication**](aviz-service-node-graphical-user-interface-guide/configuration/configuring-deduplication) – The new packet deduplication feature eliminates redundant **L2, L3, and L4 packets**, optimizing data flow and reducing unnecessary processing overhead.&#x20;
3. **Next-Generation Application Identification with Advanced DPI** – Gaining deep visibility into network traffic is more critical than ever. With advanced **Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) for IP packets**, ASN R2.0 provides precise application identification, enabling better security policies, optimized resource allocation, and improved network intelligence.
4. [**Comprehensive Packet Capture Support**](aviz-service-node-graphical-user-interface-guide/configuration/configuring-packet-capture) – Troubleshooting and network analysis are more efficient with enhanced packet capture capabilities. Purpose-built for both enterprise and telco environments, this feature enables **real-time data collection** for faster diagnostics and resolution of network issues.
5. **Building on a Strong Telco Foundation** – ASN R2.0 retains all the powerful telco features introduced in **version 1.3.1**, ensuring continuity, stability, and proven reliability for carrier-grade deployments.&#x20;
