Technology

Complete Packet Inspection

Complete Packet Inspection (CPI) combines payload pattern searching and flexible header classification on a single chip.

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.

Payload inspection includes native support of anchored and non-anchored matching including wildcards, don’t cares, and case-insensitive search – without the need for any external memories or coprocessors.

Features and Benefits

Deterministic performance
Low power consumption
No external memories
Simple system integration

In order processing
No software in data path
Flexible filter templates
Incremental provisioning

Switch and Line Card Integration

cPacket’s unique chip does not require external memories or coprocessors. It supports simple bump-in-the-wire integration with
minimal changes to existing designs.

Incorporating cPacket CPI technology adds powerful features to new and existing products cost effectively.

Visualization of application traffic
Activity indicators, triggers, and alerts
Protective rate limiting
Network health indicators such as critical ratios and behavioral monitoring
Asset defense based on signatures
Tagging and marking based on CPI filters
Smart span port for monitoring, debug, and lawful intercept
