New network protocols and encapsulations change the format and length of packet stubs. In addition, to maintain the required level of network traffic transparency, it is necessary to analyze the contents of the packets. Such tasks are not always within the power of network packet brokers, so there is a need to use more complex data processing methods.
CGS Advanced Network Packet Brokers guarantee maximum flexibility in dealing with packet headers and content. Several additional features are provided, such as filtering IPv6 traffic in GTP tunnels, regular Regex expressions, and DPI checking and extracting metadata into a separate application, all within a single solution from CGS.
ANPB brokers from CGS are available in several categories: desktop devices, network equipment, and servers, which allows you to form a complete line of solutions — from a single device with modest information processing capabilities (for example, for small businesses or small sites), to a large cluster with the data processing speed of several Tb/s (for Internet providers).
