Packet Broker
Packet capture, NetFlow
Smart SFP Packet Broker is intended to improve network visibility and monitoring.
For monitoring and troubleshooting goals, Smart SFP Packet Broker supports remote packet capture according to user-defined filters. A copy of packets is transferred via ERSPAN protocol to a PC running Wireshark or to traffic auditing tools for further analysis.
Smart SFP Packet Broker allows to collect detailed traffic statistics by IP flows in NetFlow format. It can be used with any flow collector.
Smart SFP Packet Broker can be installed in SPAN port of a switch/router and perform security, performance monitoring, troubleshooting and etc.
Another possible application:
- Network visibility: traffic patterns, top talkers, channel occupancy and other metrics
- Security analysis: DDoS protection, ADS, IDS, DPI
- Monitoring and troubleshooting: VoIP, APM
- Reduce network and hardware load by mirroring only relevant traffic
