Native Suricata
Last week we released a technology brief that discusses native Suricata integration with Accolade ANIC adapters. Without this integration, Suricata application users would have to modify the application themselves to directly access Accolade APIs. While this is totally doable, it adds a layer of extra work that many users are not willing to undertake. With this offering Accolade has made integration of Suricata and ANIC adapters seamless.
With this seamless integration the Suricata application can take advantage of all Accolade host CPU offload functions such as flow classification and flow shunting. This in turn opens up new possibilities such as having Accolade shunt away flows (e.g. streaming media traffic such as YouTube) that Suricata does not need to process. CPU cycles are then saved to be used for more important and valuable Suricata capabilities.
