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.

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.

VPN and visibility: the paradox of secure networking

Secure connectivity provided by Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) enables enterprises to keep their users connected to enterprise resources. Real-time insights into VPN traffic help enterprises manage not just their own VPN services, but also third-party VPN traffic traversing their networks. This blog post discusses how deep packet inspection (DPI) delivers these insights and how enterprises can use these insights for enhanced performance and security of their networks.
