  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.

  10. Winning the game of truth with network traffic classification accuracy powered by DPI

    As networks move towards automation, AI-based techniques such as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are employed by new architectures such as SDN to invoke and control network functions autonomously. This automation, however, hinges on both real-time traffic inputs as well as past data on protocols, applications and service types. The more accurate past classification data is, the more meaningful the algorithms and features defined in the AI systems will be. This leads to improved network responses and a higher predictive capability across networks.
