Like ISPs, higher education wants to profit from the investments they’ve made in network assets.
Rather than charge a flat fee for students and staff, schools can sell bandwidth for specialized applications or initiate subscriptions for unique services like VoIP or gaming. Procera’s deep packet inspection engine, PacketLogic, facilitates service monetization.
PacketLogic is an end-to-end deep packet inspection (DPI) network data collection platform.
Targeted primarily to service providers and carriers, PacketLogic analyzes and identifies network traffic flows for purposes of monitoring, shaping, and/or filtering the traffic per the customer's needs.
Procera has set the bar at 80Gbps of real-time traffic analysis with 96 percent accuracy.
PacketLogic’s advanced identification engine, Datastream Recognition Definition Language or DRDL, monitors and analyzes network traffic in real-time, optimizes bandwidth utilization, throttles over-consuming applications, identifies and mitigates security threats and prioritizes mission-critical applications.
PacketLogic supports centralized management through a client application.
A single administrator can direct PacketLogic using one device as a primary appliance and others as subordinates. By navigating to the local host servers, he can view all the traffic on a network.
PacketLogic simplifies implementation, administration and purchasing with separate feature-rich software modules.
Software components include LiveView, for viewing and monitoring real-time traffic statistics; Traffic Shaping, for bandwidth management; Filtering, for the identifying and handling; and Statistics, for historical reporting and analysis.
