What Is a Network Packet Broker?

A network device that receives data from a number of network links and acts as a broker, dealing the relevant data out to the connected security and monitoring tools. A middleman for distributing network monitoring traffic can be specific and targeted in the data that is supplied to each connected tool.

 

NPB Benefits include:

  • Reduce network complexity

Available Features

Aggregation

Network traffic aggregation allows an organization to consolidate or combine high numbers of network links and speeds down to a manageable amount of ports, simplifying network complexity, increase throughput, and optimizing the performance of your monitoring tools or existing network packet brokers.

Deduplication

NPB removes duplicate packets from network links before distributing to connected tools

Deduplication
Load Balancing

Load balancing is a network packet broker feature that takes incoming network traffic and uses a variety of algorithms to distribute packets across multiple ports. This feature allows you to pass packets to out-of-band and inline security and monitoring tools without interrupting the flow of traffic.

Load-Balancing
Filtering

Usually associated with network packet brokers, allows you filter specific data streams you want tapped and monitored. Filtering also prevents ports from becoming oversubscribed during aggregation. Another feature to help optimize the function of your tools and network.
