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.

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.
