The PacketBroker is an optional application added to GL’s PacketExpert™ platforms, that allows the Ethernet test tool to be used as a highly precise non-intrusive Wirespeed Ethernet Tap with all the necessary features packaged within to capture real world traffic, define multiple filters for drilling-down to traffic of interest, generate triggers based on packet filters, and transmit filtered/aggregated/
modified packets for deep-packet data analysis. The PacketBroker application utilizes all these ports to support advanced features such as -
Network Tap - capable of handling bidirectional 100% wirespeed traffic up to 10 Gbps
Wirespeed Filtering - powerful and easy to use
Packet Modification to convey useful information like Timestamp, Filter number etc. inband
Output aggregation - both direction traffic multiplexed on the same output port
Record the output to a file for offline analysis with support for popular capture file formats such as *.pcap, *.ngpcap, *.hdl, and *.dat
