Advanced DPI engines for protocol and application classification

Our DPI engines are based on deep packet inspection technology and advanced methods such as machine learning and deep learning to identify and classify network traffic by applications and protocols, delivering traffic information in real-time to support use cases such as traffic management and safeguarding networks from cyber threats.

Discover our advanced scalar packet processing (SPP)-based DPI engine R&S^®PACE 2 and our vector packet processing-based (VPP) DPI engine R&S®vPACE designed for virtual and cloud-native network functions. R&S®vPACE and R&S®PACE 2 form a DPI suite that enables virtualized and cloud-native architectures to be powered by deep network intelligence regardless of their underlying packet processing technology.

Real-time application intelligence and network visibility with future-proof DPI engines

R&S®PACE 2

Advanced DPI engine

To manage network traffic efficiently and ensure the best connectivity and highest security, granular insights into networks, down to the application level and beyond, are necessary. R&S^®PACE 2 is an advanced scalar packet processing (SPP)-based DPI engine that enhances networking and cybersecurity solutions with application-aware network traffic visibility. The software library classifies thousands of applications and protocols and extracts metadata even if traffic is encrypted or obfuscated. Weekly signature updates, combined with continuous performance and reliability testing, ensure that R&S^®PACE 2 offers the highest traffic detection rate on the market.

R&S®vPACE

VPP DPI engine

R&S®vPACE is a vector packet processing-based (VPP) DPI engine designed for frameworks such as the Fast Data Project (FD.io) that empowers virtual and cloud-native network functions (VNFs/ CNFs) with high performant, real-time IP traffic classification of thousands of protocols and applications. It is highly optimized for cloud computing, specifically to meet the visibility and speed requirements for quality and security purposes. R&S®vPACE can be easily integrated as a VPP plugin and shares the state-of-the-art signature portfolio of the leading scalar packet processing (SPP)-based DPI engine R&S®PACE 2.
