Pervasive Network Intelligence and Complete Packet Inspection
Complete Packet Inspection (CPI) combines payload pattern searching and flexible header classification on a single chip, which operates autonomously and requires no external memories.
cPacket’s unique algorithms and radical chip architecture enable inspection of every bit in every packet at an aggregated 20 Gbps (gigabits per second) or full duplex 10 Gbps, at 6 W. The technology scales to 40 and 100 Gbps.
Payload inspection includes native support of anchored and non-anchored matching including wildcards, don’t cares, and case-insensitive search.
