  1. 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?

  2. Whitepaper: DPI for vEPC vendors

    Deep packet inspection (DPI) is the key for virtualized evolved paket core (vEPC) solutions vendors to truly improve competitive service differentiation. With DPI they can transform markets focused on network agility, intelligence and automation. Embedded in service chains and network slices, DPI supports real-time analytics and quality of experience. This includes visualization and reports on application performance and security diagnostics for network and service operations.

  3. How DPI Drives Monetization in the 5G Era

    Nov 21, 2019 - In the era of 5G, DPI’s role in providing network intelligence through fine-grained analytics is expected to be a major driver for monetization. The critical capability of DPI to identify each application in real time allows mobile operators to route traffic along different network slices using 5G’s network slicing capability. This article on explains the many ways in which DPI’s metadata identification and classification capabilities drive monetization.

  4. DPI for SD-WAN solutions

    SD-WAN products provide the improved capability to manage changing network traffic patterns that result from cloud computing and new application architectures. In order to ensure advanced security, optimize user experience, enable real-time business decisions, improve customer service, and increase business productivity, SD-WANs must now become smarter, or “application-aware”. Application awareness is providing the intelligence that is required to take SD-WANs to the next level.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. DPI supporting SASE for 5G security

    SASE is a secure gateway at the edge of a network, bundling network and security functions provided on-demand as a cloud service. DPI can augment the capacities of SASE in securing enterprise 5G networks. This article examines the need for highly reliable and seamless authentication of remote users and endpoints at the edge and explains how DPI in SASE provides the real-time traffic visibility and traffic filtering to enable this.

  10. 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.
