Flow Mapping

An intelligent, scalable technology offered as part of GigaVUE OS, Flow Mapping^® takes line-rate traffic at 1Gb, 10Gb, 40Gb or 100Gb from a network tap or a SPAN/mirror port (physical or virtual) and sends it through a set of user-defined map rules to the tools and applications that secure, monitor and analyze IT infrastructure. Flow Mapping provides granularity and scalability above and beyond the capabilities of connection- and ACL filter-based technologies by addressing the problems inherent when going beyond small numbers of connections or when more than one traffic distribution rule is required.

Flow Mapping has many benefits:

• Granular control over distinct traffic streams with parallel actions
• Optimized tool performance
• Visibility into all traffic
• Replicated and/or distributed traffic across multiple tools
• Visibility as a service across silos within the IT organization
• Scalability to hundreds of network and tool ports
• Manipulation of packets with GigaSMART
