Network packet brokers (NPBs) filter traffic to send only the right data to the right tool. Packets are aggregated and filtered from Layer 2 through to the application layer. Duplicate packets can also be removed and sensitive content stripped before the data is sent to the monitoring tools if that is required. This provides a better solution to improve the efficiency and utility of your monitoring tools.

| Network and Security Unit Manager at Bankalararası Kart Merkezi (BKM) | 5.0 | We use Ixia Network Packet Brokers to efficiently trace and monitor security devices like IPS and Sandbox. The setup is easy, scalability is good, and support is helpful, but it is expensive, and we want SSM decryption added. |
