TAP Aggregation and Filtering to Enable Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
The weapon of choice for service-oriented network monitoring is Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
which are high performance software solutions that run on standard server hardware platforms
enabling providers to 1) identify, classify and even selectively block IP traffic to prevent revenue
leakage from unauthorized SoIP services, 2) detect and protect against security threats and
network anomalies, 3) facilitate wiretapping and reconstruction of relevant digital transactions. More...
