CGS high density and powerful Network Packet Brokers (NPB) optimize cyber security and performance monitoring applications by delivering the required data in the right volume and the correct format.
CGS NPBs are deployed on the most modern chipset technology and off-the-shelf hardware platforms and are fully aligned with the latest network technology evolution. With its innovative software, the CGS-NPB series leverages a powerful state of the art platform, resulting in the most reliable, scalable, modular Packet Broker in the market.
CGS NPBs support all network rates, ranging from 10Mbps to 400Gbps, with forwarding capacity ranging from 720Gbps up to 12.8Tbps with Optical, Copper, DAC interfaces in a compact 1RU form factor.
The CGS NPBs are implemented with unified and generic software architecture for all management interfaces supporting CLI, SNMP, WEB UI, NETCONF, and RESTCONF. Our NPBs support aggregation, thousands of filters, load-balancing, rate adjustments, header manipulation, timestamping and additional operations that result in superior network visibility.
NPB-Ie8 is based on a modern and powerful Trident 3 switch offering two key advantages: rates and functionality. It supports all common rates from 1G to 100G and advanced functionality such as MPLS Stripping, GRE/VXLAN Termination, Timestamping and Dynamic Load Balancing and compelling TCO.WEB UI-Port Utilization
Graphical Interface-Configure port-based traffic rules with drag-and-drop simplicity
Inline Tool Service Chain: Connect multiple network links to several inline tools, each equipped with an independent heartbeat packet to monitor traffic flow status. When any inline tool fails, the system can automatically bypass it without affecting the operation of other tools. This setup allows traffic to be directed to specific tools, maximizing each tool's analysis performance, simplifying network architecture and enhancing overall reliability.

Features Benefits Aggregation Aggregate and redirect network traffic on all rates for further processing. One-to-One, One-to-Many, Many-to-Many Replication Enable multiple tools to analyse the same traffic. Replication is supported according to the maximum ports on the device Inner Tunnel Filtering Filtering according to Inner tunnel parameters of MPLS, GTP, L2TP, GRE, PPPoE, VXLAN GRE/VXLAN Tunnelling Interconnect packet brokers across multiple sites with L2GRE/VXLAN protocol and tunnel stripping Filtering Filtering out unnecessary network traffic with conditional L2-L4 including 5-tuple Filtering classfiers from any to any ports mapping User Defined Filters Track packets that match a certain "window" in the incoming traffic AND/OR/NOT Operators Simplify packet broker operation with logicfilter actions Copy Enable orthogonal filter paths on the same traffic MAC Replace Enable device tracking, identfication, or authentication by setting MAC address Dynamic Load Balancing Prevent over-subscription by elephant flows with hash-based mechanism MPLS Stripping Enable applications to analyse network traffic by removing up to 7 MPLS labels Port Labelling Add/Remove/Replace Tag to mark & track Ingress port or flow Time Stamping Enhances network visibility with nanosecond time stamping capabilities Packet Slicing Improve monitoring and network data analysis performance by reducing packet size and maintaining the required packet slice for further processing Reliability Hot/cold aisle with port-to-power and power-to-port airflow Redundancy Hot-swappable, load-sharing, redundant AC/DC PSU and N+1 fan modules Management Web UI, CLI, SNMP, NETCONF, REST API -
Connect two or more NPB-Ie8 devices using GRE tunneling to establish cross-WAN traffic replication:
Link multiple NPB-Ie8 devices through GRE tunneling to replicate traffic seamlessly across WAN connections. Branch-site NPBs can mirror traffic and transmit it over IP networks to the headquarters NPB, where it's delivered to analysis tools for deep, real-time insight.
