DPI ENGINE

DETAILED TRAFFIC VISIBILITY UP TO LAYER 7

Qosmos ixEngine® is an advanced, DPI-based classification engine that recognizes over 3500 protocols, more than any other Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) library on the market.

Delivered as a Software Development Kit (SDK), it is composed of software libraries, modules and tools that are easily integrated into new or existing solutions. Developers benefit from market-leading IP flow parsing technology to bring detailed traffic visibility to network solutions up to Layer 7. Integration of Qosmos ixEngine as a software component removes the need to develop in-house protocol recognition capabilities, simplifying product development and accelerating delivery.
