Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A Network Packet Broker (NPB) is an active device that directs selected raw data packets from network interfaces (typically via SPAN or network TAP points) to specific network service and monitoring devices, and performance management and security applications.
It’s a middleman for network monitoring traffic. NPBs are active “brokers”, or “dealers” of data, because they can be specific and targeted in the data that is supplied to each tool.
NPBs can…
Deal data from one network link, to one tool
Deal data from one network link, to multiple tools
Deal data from multiple network links, to one tool
Deal data from multiple network links, to multiple tools
Ultimately, NPBs make monitoring and security tools more effective, by giving them access to a range of data from across the entire network. Blind spots are reduced, giving tools the visibility they need to identify and tackle performance and security threats.
