The ADLINK Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Platform provides traffic awareness, control and protection for complex networks. The ADLINK DPI platform provides layer 2 and layer 3 fast forwarding functions and manages hardware architecture differences to support both ADLINK IA blades with DPDK, and NPU blades, such as the aTCA-N700. Open DPI software modules are enabled in the platform for reference design and performance benchmark testing purposes. The fully programmable platform provides customers with the ability to rapidly and flexibly add features and update their network packet processing solution. With integrated hardware accelerators, the ADLINK DPI platform provides about 20Gbps throughput per blade with regular express, crypto and compress functions.
