Harnessing the Power of the Packet
Modern IT environments require the agility to make infrastructure changes quickly while simultaneously monitoring performance data. Network and application uptime is critical to essential businesses committed to delivering a reliable, best-in-class user experience.
NETSCOUT’s Visibility Without Borders® eliminates visibility gaps by capturing Smart Data in real time in any network, for any application, anywhere. Powered by deep packet inspection (DPI) at scale, Smart Data turns raw traffic into contextual insights IT teams can use immediately to reduce mean time to knowledge (MTTK) and accelerate mean time to resolution (MTTR).
Financial services institutions, healthcare leaders, government departments, and more rely on NETSCOUT solutions to keep critical services reliable and users connected, no matter how complex their environments.
DPI at Scale with NETSCOUT Solutions
Performance, Security, and Availability for Every Environment
What is DPI, or Deep Packet Inspection?
Deep packet inspection (DPI) is a type of data processing that analyzes traffic moving across a network in real-time to baseline application behavior, detect risks, troubleshoot performance, and confirm data formats. Whether you use an app or connect to Wi-Fi, packets make it possible. Each packet has a header with routing details, port numbers, priorities, and error checks, and a payload with the message or transaction.
DPI identifies applications, protocols, and content, helping systems block threats, trigger alerts, reroute traffic, or log activity for analysis. It also produces lightweight, packet-derived metadata that is critical to observability and security operations in modern organizations.
Powering the World’s Largest Service Providers, Enterprises, and Government Agencies
NETSCOUT's solutions leverage DPI to provide in-depth analysis of captured and stored packets. This enables IT teams to investigate and decipher the root cause of exceptionally challenging network and application issues. DPI is scalable for the world’s largest and most complex networks, empowering them to provide secure, peak network and application performance from anywhere at any time.
Keeping users happy is a critical IT mission. Holistic visibility and insight into the network, applications, servers, and user communities—and how they are performing—enables you to resolve issues before they become serious problems that negatively impact both users and the business. When problems occur with complex multi-tiered, web and/or cloud services, you need the precision and focus offered by deep packet inspection and advanced packet analysis.
Our ability to perform DPI at any scale sets us apart. From global carriers managing massive traffic volumes to government agencies safeguarding mission-critical operations, DPI delivers the clarity required to sustain secure, high-performance services at all times. Whether you are looking to ensure network and application performance, optimize end-user experience, reinforce cybersecurity, or prevent DDoS attacks, NETSCOUT solutions can help.
