1. Reinstating cloud visibility with deep packet inspection

   Deep packet inspection software delivers cloud visibility by equipping analytics intermediaries with application awareness which can be used to select and forward cloud traffic to a wide range of monitoring, security and network management tools. For distributed applications hosted and delivered from different clouds, the analysis provided by R&S®PACE 2 ensures that no gaps are left unattended in managing and delivering critical applications. Likewise, R&S®PACE 2 enables further optimization of cloud security management by coupling inspection of traffic anomalies with application awareness.

2. Enhancing network visibility for SD-WAN in the era of cloud and SaaS

   One of the most touted benefits of SD-WAN is the execution of network policies via dynamic provisioning of network services such as firewalls, load balancers and session controllers. With SD-WAN, centrally controlled orchestrators can now control network functions remotely, allowing network services to respond instantaneously to the type of application that is being delivered. However, to respond to the demands of the traffic and dynamically provision network services by application types, networks require network visibility through application awareness. Identifying an application, its attribute or its application family allows networks to become intelligent enforcing corresponding policies.

4. Vector visibility: Why DPI is a must for vector packet processing

   Network traffic visibility, specifically application awareness, plays a key role in vector packet processing (VPP). It forms the basis for protocol or application-aware vectoring – that means, the creation of vectors where packets of similar attributes are batched together. It also enables a more efficient load balancing of packets within a forwarding graph. This article discusses VPP for software-based network functions such as VNFs and CNFs. It looks at how traffic awareness delivered by DPI software enhances VPP in the high-throughput classification of vectors, realigning VPP graphs to current traffic needs and managing VPP security.

7. Close-up in the cloud: How micro-segmentation benefits from DPI

   Micro-segmentation segregates networks into smaller VLANs or subnets that are accorded their own security functionalities to safeguard cloud applications from laterally moving threats that typically afflict virtual machines and containers in the cloud. The use of DPI in micro-segmentation can greatly aid in securing applications in the cloud or specifically distributed workloads hosted on virtual machines and containers.
