10/100/1000 Mbps and 1/10 Gbps Packet Broker
Aster A-618e at a glance
- Up to 16 input/output ports supporting SFP/SFP+ optical and copper transceivers, which can also be simultaneously configured as input and output
- Advanced L2–L4 packet filtering with User Defined Bytes (UDB) filtering capabilities
- Flexible traffic aggregation supporting Any-to-Any, Many-to-One and One-to-Many configurations
- Intelligent load balancing based on session-aware hashing using Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 parameters
- VLAN tagging for input port identification
Aster A-618e Packet Broker provides a comprehensive packet brokering for 10/100/1000BASE-T copper connectivity and 1/10 Gbps optical links. Designed to support heterogeneous network environments, Aster A-618e provides the capability to filter, aggregate and load balance network traffic with a single device towards monitoring tools operating at different speeds.
Microtel Packet Brokers make monitoring and security tools more effective by providing access to network traffic across the infrastructure. Blind spots are reduced, giving monitoring and security tools the visibility required to detect performance issues and security threats.
- Reduce CAPEX by aggregating traffic from multiple TAPs or SPAN ports, reducing the num-ber of monitoring tools required
- Deliver the right data to monitoring tools by filtering network traffic at Layers 2-4 using both inner and outer parameters, as well as UDF-based filtering capa-bilities by offset matching
- Enable service operators to keep using their 1Gb/s monitoring tools by adapting 10Gb/s traffic flows to the required output speed
- Support heterogeneous network environments by combining 1/10Gbps optical connectivity with 10/100/1000BASE-T copper transceiver support
