Arbor Sightline

Arbor Sightline is a network traffic monitoring and DDoS detection platform developed by Arbor Networks (part of NETSCOUT) for use by internet service providers, carriers, and large enterprise network operators. It provides visibility into network flow data, enabling operators to detect anomalies, volumetric attacks, and traffic pattern shifts across backbone and peering infrastructure. The platform is commonly deployed within network operations centers (NOCs) to support real-time monitoring, alerting, and mitigation workflows for distributed denial-of-service threats. This particular instance, hosted under seabone.net, reflects its use within Telecom Italia Sparkle's Seabone network for operational traffic analysis and security oversight. Core capabilities include traffic engineering insights, threat intelligence integration, and automated mitigation triggering to maintain network availability and performance.
