Modify Traffic to Match Tool and Analytics Needs
Modify packet headers to make network traffic easier for downstream tools to ingest, inspect, and act on. By removing unnecessary encapsulation or appending the right headers where needed, this GigaSMART operation helps standardize traffic delivery, improve interoperability, and maintain visibility across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
Benefits of the Packet Header Modification Feature
- Improves tool compatibility by presenting traffic in the header format that downstream monitoring and security tools expect.
- Optimizes traffic handling by stripping unneeded header information and delivering cleaner packet streams for more efficient analysis.
- Extends visibility across complex environments by adapting traffic to maintain consistent observability as traffic moves across different infrastructure domains.
GigaSMART Features
GigaSMART® offers several essential traffic intelligence services required for deep observability into infrastructure blind spots.
Adaptive Packet Filtering
Identifies patterns across any part of the network packet, including the packet payload.
De-duplication
Targets, identifies, and eliminates duplicate packets, blocking unnecessary duplication and sending optimized flows.
NetFlow Generation
Delivers basic Layer 2–4 network traffic data to analysis tools.
Tunneling
Alleviates blindness of business-critical traffic at remote sites, virtualized data centers, or in the public or private cloud.
Advanced Flow Slicing
Reduces bandwidth usage by slicing payloads and packets from long data flows.
Header Modification
Normalizes traffic feed to suit monitoring or security workflows.
Packet Slicing
Truncates packets while preserving the protocol headers required for network analysis.
Advanced Load Balancing
Divides and distributes traffic among multiple tools based on a variety of data points.
Masking
Provides customizable data protection by overwriting specific packet fields with a set pattern.
Source Port Labeling
Provides context to packets and identifies behaviors and threats based on network location.
Application Filtering Intelligence
Extends Layer 7 visibility to thousands of common and proprietary applications.
Application Metadata Intelligence
Provides application visibility to identify performance and quality issues, and potential security risks.
Application Visualization
Provides a complete view of the applications running on your network.
5G Correlation
Forwards subscriber sessions to specific tools by filtering on subscriber, user device, RAN, or network slice IDs.
FlowVUE Flow Sampling
Provides subscriber IP-based flow sampling.
GTP Correlation
Enables mobile service providers to monitor subscriber data in GPRS Tunneling Protocol tunnels.
SSL/TLS Decryption
Creates a secure channel between the server and the end user's computer or other devices as they exchange information.
