Feature

Description / Benefit

Specialized Packet Functions

(Contd.)

• IPFIX/Netflow/sFlow Generation Function is also supported.

• Flow-diff calculates latency (based on PTP timestamps) between any two specified

points in the network.

• L2GRE tunnel packet decapsulation.

• VLAN tag stripping—Useful for stripping RSPAN tag.

• VLAN tag push—Useful for filter interface tagging.

• Match on inner packet post stripping.

• UDP Replication – Supports replication of UDP packets like NetFlow, IPFIX, sFlow,

Syslog, and SNMP and sends them to multiple, different collectors

• Additional specialized packet functions (like SSL decryption) can be realized by service

chaining 3rd party NPBs as service nodes

Virtual Workload Monitoring

(VM)

• Support scalable, agentless monitoring of Virtual Machines.

• Support centralized, dynamic VM monitoring.

DMF Recorder Node

• Enables Traffic Capture for Cloud-Native Network Defense & Rapid Remediation at

Scale

• Leverages easy-to-use, scale-out, high-performance industry-standard x86 based

appliances

• Integrated/centralized configuration and operational workflows via DMF Controller

• Feature-rich capturing, querying, and replay functions

• Supports L4 payload file extraction from recorded packets

• Supports packet deduplication on query

• Supports PTP / NTP based timestamping

• Programmable and scriptable via REST APIs

DMF Analytics Node

• Leverages easy-to-use, scale-out, high-performance industry-standard x86 based

appliances.

• Enables pervasive visibility for real-time and historical data delivering a Network Time

machine.

• Machine Learning and Application Dependency maps provide deeper insights and

rapid remediation.

• Supports various health/capacity planning/troubleshooting dashboards.

• Supports network performance views like Top Talkers, Top Apps, TCP connection/

latency tracking.

• Supports Security views identifying rogue DHCP/DNS servers, identifies IP/MAC

spoofing.

• Support various host views such as New Hosts seen and what OS is on the hosts.

• Supports automatic alerting on exceeding various thresholds such as link utilization.

• Supports sFlow/NetFlow collection to provide real-time visibility, including tunneled

or encapsulated traffic, enable detection of security attacks like DoS/DDoS and

support sub-second triggering.

• Supports integration with Infoblox IPAM to import extensible attributes

• Supports ingestion of Kafka topics
