DPI-digest: Analyzing traffic, locks, platforms and manufacturers of DPI systems

In the first materials that we published in our blog on Habré, we talked about both the DPI technology itself and the various scenarios that allow it to be used, and we also touched on the subject of equipment .

Today we decided to sum up the interim results of the introductory cycle and prepared a DPI-digest for you. We tried to diversify the theory with information and entertainment materials from the VAS Experts thematic blog .

DPI system composition

• DPI equipment works in conjunction with other devices and services of the data transmission network of the operator. In this material, we present an analysis of the components and some of the functionality.

Options for using DPI. Part 1

• Analysis of the main scenarios: analysis, classification and prioritization of traffic, optimization of uplinks, channel distribution between subscribers and caching.

Options for using DPI. Part 2

• A little more about DPI usage scenarios, but with a focus on user interaction and security: behavioral assessment, notification, white and black lists, traffic protection and interception, SORM prefilter.

DPI wiring diagrams: "Into break" and passive circuit

• How to connect devices of the deep analysis of the traffic to already available equipment of the operator. There are two basic schemes on which derived connection options can be based.
