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: DPI for application performance monitoring

In a world run by millions of real-time applications, insights into the network are critical to both network service providers and enterprises in ensuring that applications continue to deliver the experience and service levels expected by users. Discover in this whitepaper how network intelligence in APM solutions, delivered by deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, helps enterprises and service providers monitor and manage the performance of their applications, determining root causes of performance issues, detecting inappropriate traffic and security risks, and reacting to network slowdowns before they impact end users.

Complementing WiFi 6 technologies with DPI intelligence to make the best of both worlds

WiFi 6 provides the technical possibilities for enhancing the robustness, speed and security of ubiquitously networked computing. Deep packet inspection, in turn, improves the data foundation on which the technical capabilities of WiFi 6 are used. WiFi 6 and DPI are both useful on their own, but together, they function as complements that provide a real boost to any WLAN data network.

Whitepaper: Deep packet inspection for wireless access points

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