Commercial vs open-source DPI: Does it matter?

Commercial DPI takes traffic detection a notch higher via its ability to detect encrypted and obfuscated traffic. This inherently requires advanced methods such as statistical and behavioral analysis and machine learning, technologies that are not available in the open-source versions. This article debates the advantages of commercial vs. open-source DPI. While it shares the merits of both options, it highlights the reliability, superior performance, efficiency, security and service consistency provided by vendors of commercial DPI and how these qualities help network administrators and managers monitor and secure their networks more effectively.

Whitepaper: Deep Packet Inspection for Wireless Access Points

With exponential increases in both data rates and bandwidth demands, wireless access points vendors are unable to meet QoS, QoE and performance requirements without proper IP traffic analytics capabilities. This can be achieved by embedding deep packet inspection (DPI) technology into the WAP platform. Implementing DPI software into WAPs creates an intelligent network infrastructure able to monetize new data services, improve quality of experience (QoE), strengthen network security measures and more.

DPI for firewalls

In the era of cloud applications, network firewalls have to be more than just security devices. They must also ensure users have uninterrupted network availability and robust access to cloud-hosted applications. Deep packet inspection (DPI) is the key technology they need to become the crucial factor in ensuring availability and security on distributed networks. Embedded DPI software can search for protocol non-compliance, viruses, spam, intrusions, or defined criteria to decide whether the packet may pass or if it needs to be routed to a different destination. This makes DPI a critical tool for advanced IT security and no firewall should miss an integrated commercial-grade DPI software.
