100G Packet Capture is Not Enough
Recently we published a case study entitled International Service Provider Invests in Multipurpose 100G Platform.
One of the key lessons learned by this customer is that simple 100G lossless packet capture is not enough to enable multiple services. This customer was developing an appliance that performed at least three key services (lawful intercept, network health monitoring, traffic analysis and security) and needed to run all the services on a 100G backbone link. Some sort of CPU offload assistance was going to be required and after consulting with Accolade engineering teams the newly developed flow classification capability proved to be the key feature that propelled the project to success.
