Data Sheet NEOXPacketTiger Advanced Network Packet Brokers
Network Packet Brokers (Data/Network Monitoring Switches) are used to provide the network analysis tools with the network data packets (e.g. via Network TAP) reliably and in optimised form. New network protocols and tunnel methods lead to changes in the format and length of the packet structure. To gain real insight into network traffic, the payload of the packets must also be analysed. Such changes push the parsing capabilities of switch-based NPBs to their limits and reveal a growing need for more sophisticated methods to process the network data.
NEOXPacketTiger Advanced Network Packet Brokers (ANPBs) allow full flexibility in parsing headers and processing payloads, and provide advanced technology for modifying and optimising these packets. Advanced features such as IPv6 filtering in GTP tunneling, regex and DPI or application-based metadata extraction using CPU-based NPBs are available.
NEOXPacketTiger ANPBs use modern, high-performance, modular and scalable COTS hardware that can be configured for the desired processing capacity. This unique approach removes hardware performance constraints and enables better scaling and matching between hardware and performance requirements. Media type and speed of your network do not matter, as our PacketTigers are equipped with RJ45/SFP/SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP28 ports depending on the configuration.
