Data Sheet
PacketWolf FPGA-Based Advanced Packet Processing Appliance
- The NEOXPacketWolf is the ideal platform for advanced packet processing of network data up to 400Gbps per appliance thanks to its FPGA-based architecture.
- Our PacketWolf solutions belong to the family of Advanced Packet Processing Appliances and can be deployed as a complement to a Network Packet Broker (NPB) – or stand-alone in an existing network monitoring infrastructure.
- The data traffic for processing usually comes from a Network Packet Broker, but can also originate from other sources, such as a SPAN port or Network TAP, and after processing is forwarded by PacketWolf on the same or a separate port to a monitoring/security tool or sent back to the original data source.
- On the one hand, it is possible to granularly reduce the data load for the monitoring system through the advanced packet processing functions. For example, duplicate packets can be removed from SPAN sessions by means of deduplication (see whitepaper „TAPs vs SPAN Port“), or unwanted packets can be removed by means of various packet filtering options.
