100Gbps Network DPI, Content Extraction on Xilinx’s FPGA

OVERVIEW

Deep packet inspection (DPI) is an advanced method of examining and managing network traffic. It is a form of packet filtering that locates, identifies, classifies, reroutes, or blocks packets with specific data or code payloads that conventional packet filtering, which examines only packet headers, cannot detect.

DPI combines the functionality of an intrusion detection system (IDS) and an Intrusion prevention system (IPS) with a traditional stateful firewall. This combination makes it possible to…
