DMF switches are deployed adjacent to the production network

by connecting to SPAN / TAP ports from the production network.

The DMF controller serves as the single, central point of

management for all deployed switches. The controller enables

pervasive security and visibility for physical, and virtual

workloads for single, and multi-site deployments.

DMF provides both basic and advanced NPB functions. In

addition to basics such as filtering, aggregation, replication, and

load-balancing, it also provides advanced packet functions like

deduplication and packet slicing. DMF’s advanced functions

leverage the DPDK-powered, x86-based service nodes,

supported by unique multi-tenant, monitoring-as-a-service

functions on a scaled-out switch fabric managed centrally by the

DMF controller. DMF Controller also integrates with x86-based

analytics and recorder nodes to capture cloud-native data center

traffic at scale. The nodes also support deep application-level

analytics. The DMF Recorder Node allows high-performance

packet recording, querying, and replay functions. The DMF

Analytics Node provides unprecedented network visibility to

monitor, discover, and troubleshoot network and application

performance issues, as well as accelerate the discovery of root

causes of security breaches. With DMF Recorder and Analytics

nodes, users can achieve deep network telemetry for traditional

data center environments. With these tools, the network team

can replay past conversations across users and applications with

a single click.
