Learn what packet capture is, how it works, and why it’s critical for network observability, security, compliance, and real-time application performance.
Learn what a packet broker is, how it differs from a tap aggregator, and why it’s essential for packet observability, security, and efficient network monitoring.
By integrating cPacket’s packet data solutions alongside your MELT tools, you gain a powerful advantage — zero blind spots, reduced Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR), and complete accountability for ever
cPacket’s smart filtering technology offers a dynamic and scalable solution that ensures the right data reaches the right tools with minimal overhead.
In modern networks, hop-by-hop latency analysis is essential for rapid troubleshooting, security monitoring, and performance optimization.
Integrating cPacket’s Packet Broker (cVu) with Packet Capture and Analytics (cStor) provides a seamless, high-performance solution that enhances network visibility, optimizes data processing, and improves forensic analysis.
Capture and analyze network traffic with complete accuracy while providing a simple way to find data, payloads using keyword like searches—anytime, anywhere
By leveraging smart filters, network teams can ensure precise control over which traffic is passed, dropped, or balanced, enhancing security and optimizing network performance.
In today’s complex, hybrid IT environments, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams must ensure application reliability, performance, and security. A core enabler of this mission is network observability.
No matter what split ratio you choose, ensuring sufficient power for both network functionality and monitoring efficiency is key to achieving high-performance network observability!
As 100G Ethernet adoption accelerates, choosing the right TAP solution is critical to ensuring full visibility, security, and performance monitoring.
In modern networks, precise timestamps are critical for ensuring accurate packet analysis, performance monitoring, and forensic investigations.
As networks scale to 100G and beyond, traditional monitoring architectures simply won’t keep up. Did you know that a single 100G link generates 1.08 petabytes of data per day — from just a single direction of traffic!
A 100G link can experience a microburst that exceeds 12.5MB in just 1 millisecond—overloading buffers and dropping packets before operators even notice!
