Abstract:
Tapping technologies provide traffic visibility to network
analysis tools such as monitors, traffic recorders and security
systems. Current tapping architectures and protocols are vendor
specific and adapted to legacy networks.
Emerging networking such as large scale datacenters for cloud
applications and Mobile backhaul networks demand accurate and fast
network traffic visibility. These networks are built on Layer 2
technologies and infrastructure to support virtual machines
mobility, growing number of devices including mobile users.
SmarTap architecture is designed to support emerging network
requirements allowing network analysis tools to gain full
visibility of network traffic. SmarTap technology monitors each
link and each component of the network. It captures packets,
classifies them and sends them to tools with relevant packet
attributes. SmarTap can provide attributes such as flow-ID,
tapping-location, tapping-time and statistics.
