DPI/DFI Framework Solutions
IP Service Visibility and Control
DPI/DFI frameworks transform carrier networks into service-aware networks delivering in the cloud (ITC) Layer 4-7 visibility and control to support premium Internet and walled garden business models that are emerging as critical contributors to carrier service and ARPU growth.
By adding an intelligent service decision and control layer, Radware’s Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and Deep Flow Inspection™ (DFI) enables granular, transaction-level traffic management based on user, service and content awareness. With these DPI/DFI frameworks, operators can differentiate and bill for hybrid Internet-walled garden services, extend network and service integrity, shape bandwidth for quality of service (QoS) and peer-to-peer (P2P) control and extend optimized, adapted, Internet delivery across the radio access network (RAN) to support the open mobile-Internet networks and network convergence.
DPI/DFI lets wireline and mobile carriers achieve
- ITC service intelligence driving business evolution for differentiated (e.g., tiered bandwidth for wholesale) hybrid Internet-walled garden services and the ability to bill for them.
- Service session and transaction visibility through DPI/DFI, policy-based Layer 2-7 traffic management (block, optimize, redirect, meter) and behavioral inspection engines for advanced network and service integrity.
- Network user, service and content awareness and infrastructure virtualization for IP service control, operational efficiency and support of tiered IP service business models.
With DPI/DFI, operators can effectively respond to IP service fault conditions, drive down CAPEX/OPEX and enable new service models for IP-based services with higher value and higher margin growth.
