We’re excited to announce a new stable release of n2disk v. 3.8. This release is bringing significant new capabilities to the network monitoring and recording landscape, and it is packed with features that enhance both functionalities and performance. Here’s a closer look at the highlights of this release: New Smart Recording support to intelligently manage […]
Introducing nScrub 1.6: Broader Support, More Offloads, Improved Algorithms
We are excited to announce this new release of nScrub, 1.6, packed with new features, expanded hardware support, and key enhancements to strengthen network defense capabilities. This release adds native support for NVIDIA/Mellanox ConnectX adapters, and extends support for Napatech adapters by enabling the TX offload support, which optimizes packet transmission performance and reduces CPU […]
Exporting (Custom) Flows with Avro in nProbe Cento
This summer we introduced nProbe Cento 2.0. Before this release, Cento was supporting JSON serialization only when exporting flows to Kafka. JSON is straightforward and widely used, but it can be verbose and less efficient for high-throughput or resource-sensitive environments. To address these challenges, when exporting flows to ntopng, some time ago we introduced a […]
Released Cento 2.0: Hardware Flow Table Offload, Avro Export and Much More
This is to announce that Cento 2.0 is out! This new major release introduces many new great features. First of all it adds support for offloading flows to Napatech SmartNICs featuring Flow Manager. This new feature has been presented at IEEE HPSR (IEEE International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing) and demonstrated to provide […]
Released PF_RING 8.8.0: Flow Table Offload and nVidia BlueField Support
This is to announce a new PF_RING release 8.8.0! This release adds generic support for flow table offload, which is currently supported on Napatech adapters with Flow Manager enabled. This new technology has been successfully used to accelerate nProbe Cento when running with DPI enabled on multi 100 Gbit traffic (both passive and inline) and […]
Howto Build a (Cheaper) 100 Gbit Continuous Packet Recorder using Commodity Hardware
Those who follow this blog probably read a few posts where we described how to build a 100 Gbit continuous packet recorder using n2disk and PF_RING, providing specs for recommended hardware and sample configurations (if you missed them, read part 1, part 2 and part 3). In those posts we recommended the use of FPGA-based adapters […]
Fixing Packet Deduplication: Introducing nDedup
When it comes to monitor a busy network, network monitoring tools can become bogged down, or even worse produce misleading information for your analysis, by a hidden culprit: duplicate packets. Imagine a firehose of data streaming across your network, much of this data can be redundant, with identical packets being sent multiple times due to […]
Introducing ntopng Customised Reports
In ntopng 6.0 Dashboard and Traffic Reports have been completely redesigned and rewritten from scratch with a new, flexible engine which is template-based. In a previous webinar we demonstrated how cute and powerful the new engine is, with the ability to automatically generate periodic reports, and with the promise of releasing a graphical editor for customising […]
HowTo Build a 100 Gbit NetFlow Sensor Using nProbe Cento
When it comes to monitor a distributed network, to get a picture of the Network traffic flowing through the uplinks or on critical Network segments, NetFlow like technologies are usually the answer. nProbe Pro/Enterprise and nProbe Cento are software probes that can be used to build versatile sensors able to export flow information in many […]
Introducing PF_RING 8.6: Runtime Filtering and On Demand IDS at 100 Gbit
This is to announce a new PF_RING release 8.6 ! This stable release introduces a new Runtime component in PF_RING, which adds support for runtime filtering. This allows an external application to push filtering rules (through a Redis queue) while the socket is running, and offload them to the adapter when supported (e.g. on NVIDIA/Mellanox Connect-X […]
