Description

NEOX PacketLion Network Packet Broker SeriesThe NEOX PacketLion Network Packet Broker (NPB) series is a high-performance network visibility platform designed to optimize, aggregate, filter, and distribute network traffic across enterprise, data center, cloud, telecom, and cybersecurity environments. Built to support modern monitoring and security architectures, PacketLion enables organizations to maximize the efficiency of their network monitoring tools, packet capture appliances, IDS/IPS systems, SIEM platforms, and performance management solutions.

With advanced L2–L4 traffic filtering, packet aggregation, regeneration, load balancing, packet slicing, and tunnel-aware traffic processing, PacketLion ensures that only relevant network traffic is delivered to connected monitoring and security tools. This reduces tool overload, improves operational efficiency, and enhances visibility across complex network infrastructures. Support for technologies such as VLAN, MPLS, IPv4/IPv6, GRE, GTP, VXLAN, L2TP, and user-defined filters enables granular traffic control and precise monitoring.Designed for scalability, PacketLion supports mixed-speed environments ranging from Gigabit Ethernet to 400G networks, making it suitable for both current and future network requirements. Its non-blocking architecture delivers line-rate performance without packet loss, while redundant power supplies, hot-swappable fans, and enterprise-grade hardware ensure maximum reliability in mission-critical deployments.

The platform offers centralized management through an intuitive web interface, CLI, REST API, NETCONF, SNMP, and integration with PacketDirector for simplified administration across multiple devices. Advanced capabilities such as timestamping, port labeling, load balancing, traffic deduplication, and flexible port mapping provide complete control over network traffic flows.

Whether deployed for network monitoring, packet capture, network security monitoring, threat detection, performance analytics, or compliance, the NEOX PacketLion series delivers the visibility, scalability, and reliability that organizations need to build efficient, future-ready network infrastructures. This makes PacketLion an ideal network packet broker solution for enterprises seeking enhanced network visibility and optimized security operations.
