Protocol (Header) Stripping
Large data centers can carry a wide range of traffic types, including some encapsulated for transport across an enterprise's network. Some analysis tools, though, do not support all encapsulation types and monitoring performance may suffer. APCON hardware includes advanced Protocol (Header) Stripping features to ensure your tools have complete visibility and operate at maximum efficiency.
Accommodate diverse traffic types
Level up your network monitoring
Protocols such as VLAN, VLAN Q-in-Q, FabricPath, MPLS, VXLAN, GPRS, and GTP are used in various network configurations to encapsulate ethernet data to help build highly scalable multipath networks. Such networks are particularly suitable for large virtualized deployments, private clouds, and high-performance computing environments.
APCON's IntellaView platform multi-function blades, as well as the versatile IntellaFlex XR multi-function blades, IntellaStore II+ appliance, and IntellaFlex XR HyperEngine include advanced Protocol (Header) Stripping features (now including VN-tag and GENEVE stripping) to ensure your tools have the right visibility and operate with maximum efficiency.
Features
VLAN, VLAN Q-in-Q, FabricPath, MPLS, VXLAN, GPRS, GTP, VN-tag & GENEVE support
Processing at true line rate with zero latency
Easy configuration via browser-based GUIs
Benefits
Use performance & security analysis tools regardless of header type
Improve network performance, reduce latency & prevent oversubscription of tools
Offload header processing from software tools for better application performance

PROTOCOL (HEADER) STRIPPING HARDWARE
Enhance monitoring performance
Protocol (Header) Stripping removes tags, headers and encapsulations that your analysis, monitoring, or security tools cannot decode or do not require, maximizing performance. It is a licensable feature on the following APCON hardware:
