Profitap Network Packet Brokers

The problem: networks are becoming more complex, with higher speeds (10G–400G) and growing data volumes. Security and monitoring tools get overwhelmed by unfiltered traffic, duplicate packets, and irrelevant data. TAP/SPAN ports generate more data than tools can process. The result: blind spots, missed threats, tool overload, and high costs.

Network Packet Brokers (NPBs) optimize data flows between TAP/SPAN and monitoring/security tools. They aggregate, filter, replicate, and optimize network traffic—so each tool receives exactly the right data without being overloaded. This maximizes the effectiveness of existing investments.

What Profitap NPB solves:

Prevent tool overload

Intelligent filtering and load balancing.

Reduce costs

Extend tool lifespan and avoid unnecessary expansion.

Eliminate blind spots

Central visibility across physical and virtual infrastructure.

Optimize bandwidth

Packet slicing and deduplication reduce data volume by 40–80%.

Improve security

Tools receive relevant, optimized data for better threat detection.

Reduce complexity

One central platform for traffic management (any-to-any, many-to-many).

Benefits of Profitap Packet Brokers compared to other solutions:

Largest portfolio

From entry-level to enterprise (12.8 Tbps throughput).

Advanced processing

SSL/TLS decryption, data masking, DPI, NetFlow export.

Line-rate performance

All functions at wire speed with zero packet loss.

Non-blocking architecture

Oversubscription on one port does not affect others.

Flexible filtering

Up to 18k TCAM filters, L2–L7 DPI, non-conflicting rules.

High availability

Dynamic LAG, port redundancy, load balancing redundancy.

PTP timestamping

Nanosecond precision (IEEE 1588).

Global deployment

Proven worldwide in government, telecom, finance, and OT/ICS.

In short: maximize the value of your security and monitoring tools with intelligent traffic management—tools receive exactly the right data, without overload, at line-rate speed with enterprise-grade reliability.
