cPacket products incorporate unique chip and hardware-software architecture to deliver pervasive network intelligence for deployment throughout the data center and network infrastructure. Combining novel hardware-software partitioning and purposely built chip, which was designed by cPacket's core team, enable cutting edge features and performance.
cPacket's radical algorithmic fabric on silicon inspects every bit in every packet and every flow at full line rate. It delivers deterministic performance under any traffic conditions. The unique hardware-software architecture provides cPacket a fundamental competitive advantage over merchant silicon and traditional products and enable products with better features, superior accuracy, and higher performance.
Benefits of cPacket technology include
| High Performance |
Scalable architecture delivers uncompromised deterministic performance under any traffic conditions
|
| Complete Packet and Flow Inspection |
L2-L7 complete packet and flow inspection include headers parsing and pattern searching anywhere in the packet payload
|
| Low power and compact |
Low power and small form factor enabled by cPacket's silicon chip that does not need off-chip DRAM/TCAMs or coprocessors
|
| Simple Software Model |
Streamlined GUI, CLI, and API with filter templates to apply actions like: count, duplicate, drop, rate limit, truncate and tag
|
| Accurate Timestamping and Clock Synchronization |
Time stamping directly at the input transceiver with hardware clock synchronization to external time reference
|
| Flow-based Load Balancing |
Coherent flow balancing with optional pre-filtering and relative weights to drive simple and scalable cluster computing
