OSS Solution - Network Tap and Network Packet Broker –Cubro Network Visibility
- Networks have become increasingly complex due to the adoption of transformational technologies including 5G SA, SDN, SD-WAN, virtualization, and IoT. This has created ‘blind spots’. Blind spots are network traffic that is not visible to network monitoring, security and analytics tools and can hide and obscure network performance and security threats.
- Network Packet Brokers (NPBs) remove network traffic blind spots, optimize network traffic, filter network traffic, load balance, and support high speed connections (currently) up to 400Gbps. NPBs receive and aggregate network traffic from switch SPAN ports or network TAPs which can then be filtered, deduplicated, and further optimized to enable more efficient use of security and performance tools.
- Cubro’s advanced NPBs are designed to meet the needs of complex networks and support numerous tunnelling protocols including MPLS, MPLS over UDP, GRE, NVGRE, VXLAN, CFP, ERSPAN and GTP. The key to realizing such an advanced feature set is that we are using high-performance silicons giving us the flexibility and performance to truly function as a Next Generation Network Packet Broker

- A probe is a device or software that converts packet-based network communications into an analyzable metadata format. Different techniques for accomplishing this are used depending on the traffic and application. Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and Machine Learning are used for user traffic as well as large volume traffic such as video content. For signaling traffic, the packets are parsed and the relevant data extracted.
