  1. Accelerating traffic with DPDK-optimized DPI

    DPDK plays a pivotal role in modern networks by elevating packet processing rates, minimizing latencies, and enhancing network speeds. In this article, we delve into the synergy of deep packet inspection (DPI) and the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) to amplify packet processing capabilities in both networking and cybersecurity contexts. We will examine the intricate mechanisms harnessed by DPDK and underscore the indispensable role of DPDK-optimized visibility tools like R&S®PACE 2, especially when dealing with applications operating in high-compute environments.

  5. 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®.

  6. DEM deployments to grow ninefold over the next three years — DPI-driven application awareness critical to sustaining growth

    Leipzig, Germany, April 21, 2021 — ipoque GmbH, a Rohde & Schwarz company and provider of industry-leading OEM deep packet inspection (DPI) software, today published their first report on digital experience monitoring (DEM), addressing user experience monitoring for cloud and software as a service (SaaS), and the importance of real-time traffic intelligence provided by DPI. The report, which is based on a survey of leading DEM vendors, finds that 91 % of DEM vendors identify DPI as a key capability for enhancing DEM monitoring insights.

  8. Harnessing intelligence at the core with DPI for vEPC

    The shift from an EPC to a vEPC opens up the possibility for networks to manage capacities as needed while scaling and customizing the network dynamically based on traffic conditions and application requirements. What’s the role of deep packet inspection (DPI) in creating these highly responsive, scalable and agile 4G networks? This article discusses the need for DPI-powered intelligence in the vEPC as DPI provides real-time traffic insights on applications, protocols, traffic attributes, malware and other data required to implement traffic management, security and content management policies, not only across the core but also throughout the network.

  10. 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.
