PacketController represents the new generation of bandwidth management in policy enforcement. It provides all the features you need to control the amount of bandwidth with stunning performance.
Flexible Deployment Options
The PacketController operates as a Layer 2 switch (transparent mode) or a Layer 3 gateway (route mode). In either of the deployment modes, the PacketController device has a dedicated Ethernet management interface, different from the Ethernet data interfaces. You can assign an IPv4 address and/or an IPv6 address to the management interface.
L3 Gateway Mode
PacketController deployed as L3 gateway between Edge Router and Core Switch, one typical installation is to use dynamic routing protocols to redistribute the NAT pool. OSPF is used between the aggregation router and the PacketController device; BGP is configured between the BGP peering router and the PacketController device. The BGP peering router injects a default route towards the PacketController device and the PacketController device injects the configured NAT pool subnets.
L2 Switch Mode
It is pretty standard L2 switch transparent deployment; You can set up bridge on single Ethernet ports or a trunk which is a set of multiple ports configured as a single logical link.
Integrated with External Bypass Switch
PacketController supports built-in failover (Gigabit Networks) and external failover with bypass switch (10G/40G/100G/400G networks).
Subscriber Management System
PacketController provides simple yet powerful subscriber management to enable service providers to manage subscribers effectively and profitably.

DPI (Deep Packet Inpsection)
Leveraging DPI-based application visibility alongside comprehensive subscriber awareness delivers detailed insights into network traffic. By understanding trends in both network and application usage, organizations can enhance network planning, gain deeper business intelligence, strengthen security controls, improve compliance with law enforcement requirements, and unlock new opportunities for service monetization.
