From smart grids to tactile UX: How application awareness drives 5G service classes
As applications evolve, so must networks. In 5G network slicing, application awareness plays a key role in shaping virtual instances or ‘slices’, enabling network operators to maintain network responsiveness and performance. How do traffic visibility and network intelligence provided by future-proof DPI software facilitate the management of network slices and what is the role of DPI in securing the applications and slices across today’s 5G networks?

Unlock 5G speeds and low latencies with high-performance DPI for ultra-fast networks
One of the key decision factors in deploying deep packet inspection (DPI) and choosing a solution that best fits one’s network needs, is cost. This evaluation is particularly important in 5G, where traffic is expected to record phenomenal growth rates over the coming years. With 5G, a network-wide upgrade of the underlying computing capacity is inevitable. However, what often baffles operators, is figuring out the exact upgrade requirements needed to support new 5G traffic volumes and the lower latencies, and ensuring that those upgrades meet the overall 5G network performance needs. Our new blog post discusses how underlying server processing capabilities influence the speed and throughput of a DPI library, demonstrated by a series of tests conducted by ipoque in collaboration with Intel®.

Cutting up the perfect piece: DPI-enhanced traffic intelligence for 5G network slicing
Unlike its predecessor networks, 5G involves network slicing which overlays logical networks on a common infrastructure, creating different ‘slices’ that act as separate networks. This article discusses the need for real-time traffic intelligence for 5G network slicing. It explains 5G network slicing, the 5G usage classes and how real-time intelligence provided by DPI enables the creation and implementation of various traffic management policies as well as how it supports network optimization and monetization.

How subscriber awareness augments mobile network security
Conventional load balancing across mobile networks leaves network security functions with huge visibility gaps. Furthermore, in the context of 5G, the need for higher bandwidth and speeds across applications that are data-intensive and that connect to multiple end nodes simultaneously poses new challenges for operators. R&S®GSRM in combination with R&S®PACE 2 delivers deeper, more granular insights into the risks and vulnerabilities that are present in a mobile network. Operators benefit from enhanced network intelligence to manage and improve mobile network security.

Maximizing the potential of ZTNA with deep packet inspection
In today’s hybrid enterprise environments, zero-trust network access (ZTNA) is becoming increasingly important to improve the end-user experience while ensuring that the network is secured against attacks and malicious activities. This is possible with next-generation DPI software. DPI supports ZTNA in implementing granular, user- and context-aware authentication across different classes of users, devices, clouds and applications. DPI’s ability to identify traffic anomalies can also be used by ZTNA to identify cyberattacks and other threats on enterprise networks.
