Advanced Network Packet Broker, beyond standard L2–L4 network traffic replication, the advanced NPB delivers enhanced packet processing capabilities, including:
1. De-Deuplication
2. MAC & IP Replacement
3. Advanced Header Stripping(ERSPAN、GTP、VxLAN)
4. Ingress Timestamping
5. Dynamic Load Balance
6. Netflow Generation v5/9/10 IPFIX
7. Packet Capture
8. GTP Corelation
The advanced NPB also features DPI-based full-packet inspection, enabling filtering based on both header and payload information. Common filtering attributes include domain names, URLs, or application-layer protocols such as Skype, YouTube, Facebook, and Netflix. It can even inspect traffic within tunnels, extracting details such as inner IP, TEID, and IMSI from GTP sessions. By parsing DNS-resolved IP lists, it can transform traffic 1:1 into NetFlow, Syslog, JSON, CSV, or other metadata formats, delivering deep visibility and actionable insights across complex network environments.
