Many network and security tools are overloaded with irrelevant and duplicate data. In fact, research by the Public University of Navarre, suggests that duplicate packets represent more than 50 percent of network traffic, in some cases as much as 85 or even 90 percent of traffic. While some network management tools can perform de-duplication, this places a heavy burden on those tools’ resources.

The Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline provides a centralized de-duplication solution that eliminates duplicate packets typically resulting in a 50 percent reduction of traffic sent to network and security tools.
