Application Filtering Intelligence
Layer 7 visibility and application traffic extraction for optimal tool efficiency
Application Identification and Traffic Forwarding
Gigamon Application Filtering Intelligence, a key component of Gigamon Application Intelligence, extends Layer 7 visibility to thousands of common and proprietary applications.
How Application Filtering works
Application Filtering Intelligence first identifies all the applications running on your network. Then, it lets you apply application filtering by using simple flow control to direct traffic by application, or families of applications only to the tools that require it. Irrelevant application traffic is not forwarded, saving storage and processing resources.
- Gain full visibility to the applications on your network along with the network resources they consume
- Increase tool efficiency and capacity — up to 80 percent in certain cases
- Improve network security by freeing up tool resources to protect a larger attack surface, including East-West traffic
- Decrease time manually analyzing network data with automatic application identification and isolation.
Full Application Visibility and Control
Gigamon Application Filtering Intelligence gives you end-to-end granular application visibility and the power to direct specific application traffic to the appropriate tools.
With application awareness and Flow Mapping®, NetOps and InfoSec teams can optimize network and security resources. Use cases include:
- Forwarding high-risk applications, such as CRM, Microsoft Office and BitTorrent search engine traffic, to intrusion detection systems (IDS).
- Identifying 5G mobile smartphone applications using SMS, MMS, IM, WAP and peer-to-peer, being transmitted by the GPRS Tunneling Protocol.
- Filtering out high-volume, low-risk web and video traffic, such as from Netflix and Hulu.
- Offloading routine maintenance and patches (such as Microsoft Windows updates) so they don’t bog down monitoring and security appliances.
Improved Efficiency of
Tools
Improves system performance by sending only applicable traffic to the right network and security tools at the right time.
Higher Security
ROI
By freeing up security resources, you can secure more of your network without additional investments.
Reduced Workload
for IT
Set and change application filtering policies with a few clicks — no more tedious scripting and updating rules.

TECH BRIEF
Optimize Your Application Layer Visibility
Filter lower-priority applications and focus more on critical applications.
“Improving observability is a critical challenge in network operations. Automating application identification and directing analysis traffic on that enhanced context is a powerful capability that Gigamon Application Intelligence brings to network management.”
