Advanced Flow Slicing
Intelligently slice flows to reduce traffic sent to tools.
Forward the First Set of Packets, then Slice or Drop the Rest
Inspecting long data flows hogs bandwidth and causes unnecessary processing burdens on tools. (A flow is an HTTP session or any general TCP/UDP session.)
GigaSMART® Advanced Flow Slicing application eliminates these issues by slicing payloads and packets from long data flow. This allows network operation teams and service providers, including those running 5G networks, to forward the first set of packets in the flow, then slice or drop the rest — saving your bandwidth and increasing tool effectiveness.
Benefits of Advanced Flow Slicing:
- Reduces traffic sent to tools by more than 60 percent
- Avoids costly tool upgrades to inspect unnecessary traffic
- Improves overall tool efficiency and effectiveness
- Retains complete visibility into each flow’s establishment
- Interoperable with all major protocols including GPRS Tunneling Protocol
How It Works
GigaSMART Advanced Flow Slicing reduces traffic sent to tools using a two-step intelligent slicing method:
- You decide the first number of packets in a flow to analyze
- Then either drop or slice subsequent packets in that flow

GigaSMART Features
GigaSMART® offers several essential traffic intelligence services required for deep observability into infrastructure blind spots.
NetFlow Generation
Delivers basic Layer 2–4 network traffic data to analysis tools.
Source Port Labeling
Provides context to packets and identifies behaviors and threats based on network location.
Adaptive Packet Filtering
Identifies patterns across any part of the network packet, including the packet payload.
De-duplication
Targets, identifies, and eliminates duplicate packets, blocking unnecessary duplication and sending optimized flows.
Packet Slicing
Truncates packets while preserving the protocol headers required for network analysis.
Advanced Load Balancing
Divides and distributes traffic among multiple tools based on a variety of data points.
Advanced Flow Slicing
Reduces bandwidth usage by slicing payloads and packets from long data flows.
Masking
Provides customizable data protection by overwriting specific packet fields with a set pattern.
Tunneling
Alleviates blindness of business-critical traffic at remote sites, virtualized data centers, or in the public or private cloud.
Application Visualization
Provides a complete view of the applications running on your network.
Application Filtering Intelligence
Extends Layer 7 visibility to thousands of common and proprietary applications.
Application Metadata Intelligence
Provides application visibility to identify performance and quality issues, and potential security risks.
