📄️ Packet analysis
Packet analysis captures and inspects network packets to investigate traffic behavior, protocol activity, communication issues, and security-related events using packet-level visibility and PCAP data.
📄️ Packet broker
A packet broker is a network visibility device that aggregates, filters, processes, and distributes traffic copies from TAPs and SPAN ports to monitoring and security tools as part of scalable visibility architectures.
📄️ Packet capture
Packet capture (PCAP) records network packets for troubleshooting, protocol inspection, traffic analysis, security investigations, and historical forensic analysis using packet-level visibility.
📄️ Packet filtering
Packet filtering is the process of allowing, blocking, or controlling network packets based on policy rules such as IP addresses, ports, protocols, interfaces, traffic direction, or connection state. It is a foundational mechanism used in firewalls, ACLs, and traffic-control systems.
📄️ Packet loss
Packet loss is the failure of one or more network packets to successfully reach their destination. It is commonly associated with congestion, interface errors, unstable paths, or network performance problems that affect application behavior and user experience.
📄️ Packet loss monitoring
Packet loss monitoring measures and analyzes packets that fail to reach their destination to identify congestion, retransmissions, routing issues, hardware faults, and degraded application performance.
📄️ Passive DNS
Passive DNS collects and analyzes observed DNS traffic to provide historical visibility into domain resolutions, IP mappings, DNS behavior, and infrastructure activity over time.
📄️ Passive network monitoring
Passive network monitoring observes real network traffic without injecting synthetic probes or interfering with production communication. It uses packet capture and flow telemetry to provide visibility into actual network behavior, application activity, and operational conditions.
📄️ PCAP analysis
PCAP analysis examines packet capture files to investigate protocol behavior, troubleshoot communication problems, analyze traffic activity, and support security and forensic investigations using packet-level visibility.
📄️ Peering
Peering is a direct traffic-exchange arrangement between autonomous networks that improves routing efficiency, reduces transit dependency, lowers latency, and optimizes internet traffic delivery.
📄️ Peering traffic analysis
Peering traffic analysis examines traffic exchanged between networks at peering and interconnection points using flow telemetry and BGP routing intelligence. It helps operators understand inter-network traffic behavior, interconnect utilization, routing influence, and traffic distribution across autonomous systems.
📄️ Per-flow indexing
Per-flow indexing organizes flow records and traffic metadata so individual network conversations can be efficiently stored, searched, correlated, and retrieved across large telemetry environments for traffic analysis, troubleshooting, and historical investigations.
📄️ Performance bottleneck analysis
Performance bottleneck analysis identifies components or conditions slowing traffic delivery, application responsiveness, or network performance by analyzing congestion, latency, packet loss, retransmissions, and infrastructure behavior.
📄️ PF_RING
PF_RING is a high-performance packet capture framework for Linux designed to improve packet acquisition efficiency, reduce packet loss, and sustain reliable traffic visibility in high-speed monitoring environments.
📄️ Point to point link
A point-to-point link is a dedicated communication path between exactly two network devices or locations, commonly used for WAN connectivity, inter-site communication, backbone transport, and router-to-router traffic.
📄️ Policy enforcement
Policy enforcement is the application of network and security rules that control how traffic is allowed, blocked, redirected, shaped, or monitored across a network environment. It directly influences communication behavior, segmentation boundaries, and operational visibility across distributed infrastructures.
📄️ Port translation
Port translation modifies transport-layer ports in network traffic to support NAT, PAT, session mapping, address sharing, and communication between internal and external networks.
📄️ Prefix
A prefix is a contiguous block of IP addresses identified by a network address and prefix length, such as 192.0.2.0/24. Prefixes are fundamental to routing, subnetting, traffic aggregation, and scalable internet routing.
📄️ Prefix analytics
Prefix analytics analyzes traffic by IP prefixes and CIDR blocks to understand routed traffic behavior, interconnection utilization, routing influence, traffic concentration, and ASN-related traffic distribution across enterprise and ISP environments.
