Bringing Value to the Network: Powerful and Reliable DPI Engine for Competitive Network Equipment Vendors
View the Q&A
Many network equipment vendors are facing increasingly complex challenges with the constantly growing number of applications and protocols they must account for. Meanwhile, improving end user QoS and QoE, comprehensive subscriber analytics, targeted content optimization and reliable policy enforcement are key drivers for future network operators.
To ensure high levels of quality and security for all network elements, products need to be enhanced with powerful and proven Layer 7 protocol network management and visibility capabilities.
There is a need to move to consolidated network elements that can be optimized for a wide range of infrastructure applications and use of content-aware technologies to create differentiated service offerings. In line with the increases in internet traffic, the number of applications and protocols, subscribers and use cases have also increased, placing strain on networking equipment hardware and software that requires a platform that is all-encompassing, powerful, scalable, and adaptable.
This webinar discusses how cutting-edge DPI capabilities can be used to implement application aware, adaptable and software configurable network elements for next generation networks. It provides network equipment vendors with insights into a new, ready-to-use framework that will accelerate the development of next generation platforms for network security and analytics.
Join us for this free webinar from telecoms.com in association with IPOQUE as we address the following:
- - How to efficiently overcome network challenges with DPI capabilities?
- - How to handle the individualized needs of different customers and use cases?
- - How to balance the costs with a reliable and efficient outsourcing solution?

Thank you for all your questions, this Q&A is now closed. You can email your questions directly to Eias by sending them to eias.daka@ipoque.com
do you perform the traffic divert to VASes based on L7?
Hi,
The reroute function is done by the PCEF solution, PACE provides the classification based on the L7 information
with regards to interfaces, do you support the 3GPP Gx,Gy,Gz, Sd, Sy?
PACE is a SW library which is integrated in solutions like PCEF, which might be 3GPP compliant
Further questions on the capacity, how many DPI rules do you configure when achiving 4.2Gbps per core? What traffic was used in the tests? Is it a real IP traffic being inspected?
Hi,
we did the test on a real IP traffic capture. With all protocols and applications enabled which do contain more than 10000 DPI rules.
Just want your confirmation: …the performance of 4.2Gbps per core… Is this capacity based on layer 7 inspection?
Yes
Hi Eias,
what is your experience with Wirelinw SPs? Other than those who want to understand what applications use their broadband lines is there any SP really thinking of DPI helping to enhance their service offer? if yes can you provide an example?
thanks!
Alessandro Salesi
Hi Alessandro,
Yes, it is used by Traffic Management/WAN Optimization/PCEF and GGSN to optimize the traffic and offer SLA’s
Thanks,
Eias
What is the solution you offer with regards to Lawful Intercept?
It is the DPX and PADE, you can find them on our website
Which GGSN vendors have implemented your solution?
unfortunately we can’t disclose the name, due to NDA
On how many cores can we install the SW? can the various cores be synchronized?
We support any number of cores. The cores don’t have to be synchronized. The performance increases almost linearly with the number of cores
Even if you are 100% HW independent, is there any HW recommended (e.g. a HW that you have specifically tested and that is recommended from ipoque to guarantee the throughput values)
Hello Michael,
We recommend x86 platform to guarantee the best performance, This is our preferred and tested HW platform
Is it possible to get a copy of the slides ?
Sure, please send me your contact details.
Thanks,
Eias
Hello Eias,
what about the Heuristic and Behavioral analysis. Does this help in classifying Encrypted Traffic?
Regards,
Charbel Khneisser,
Hi Charbel,
we use the heuristic and behavioral analysis to classify encryted protocols like Skype and Bittorrrent.
Cheers,
Eias
Hi Eias,
thanks for the slides. can we use this to classify in any mathematical methods to detect Encrypted VoIP?
Yes, PACE is using those mathematical methods to detect encrypted VoIP.
You mentioned a regular signature updates, how is it done? Does the customer have to reboot the system?
Hello,
PACE includes the dynamic update feature, enabling you to update without rebooting the system.
Thanks,
Eias
Are your customers able to influence you Roadmap planing?
Hello,
Sure, customer requests and feedback is highly appreciated and taken into our plannings.
Thanks,
Eias
How does the evaluation work? Do you have an evaluation SW?
Yes we do. There is an evaluation version which contains all features as the regular software does.
The performance of 4.2Gbps per core, does it include all protocols and applications? Which HW platform did you use for the test?
Yes, it included all applications and protocols. Intel i3-2100 CPU@3.10GHZ
