1. 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.

4. DPI for SIEM and threat intelligence solutions

   Threat intelligence solutions like SIEMs are widely deployed by security analysts to protect sensitive network assets from the most advanced cyber threats. With about 7 billion internet-connected devices (according to data from IoT Analytics) next-generation SIEMs need to tackle the latest security breaches with advanced analytics. The challenge is in managing SIEM solutions to eliminate false positives and sort through the massive amount of data they supply quickly and efficiently. DPI-powered protocol and application classification by R&S®PACE 2 adds valuable real-time information as SIEM vendors can obtain real-time visibility into both plain and encrypted network traffic, as well as information on traffic KPIs.
